“Lee Ann is one of the best educators I know; in the broadest sense of the word. She has something to offer anyone she comes in contact with. She is an expert in organizations and understands human dynamics thoroughly.”

“I remember from the training we talked about how to have difficult conversations. One of the most valuable aspects of LeeAnn’s work was the individual coaching that went along with the training. I still use what I learned in those sessions. I apply the skills in difficult conversations. I learned to understand people. Now that I think about it, I use it all of the time."

“Most consultants have a “canned act” in their briefcase. They come to town and deliver. Lee Ann adapts her expertise to almost any situation. She looks at a situation to create something meaningful for the client. She is the most upfront consultant I’ve worked with. She assesses a situation immediately. She reads facial and body language immediately. She confronts and adapts”

“The leadership skills that LeeAnn has provided have not only allowed me to grow as a professional but also as an individual. She challenges your thought processes yet somehow always gets you to see it from the right end of things. There is now way that I could repay her for what she has done. She is invaluable.”

LeeAnn’s work goes deep. She is not afraid to push the barrier. She goes under the group and poses questions to get to underlying issues before groups are formed. LeeAnn does groups well. She explains and clarifies what she is doing while she is doing. With groups she explains; clarifies; works and practices and does it over and over so that we understand and the practice becomes imbedded.”

“LeeAnn brings learning into leadership. A second year of growth! Can’t beat it!
She is teaching me how to “come into my own leadership style.” She looks at the kind of leader I am and the kind of the leader the school needs and assists me with stepping into leading.
How to build teams. She is showing me what it means to be an active team member. How to be it – how to communicate from it—and looking at what I bring to a team. I have learned that being a part of a team is a choice. Even if someone is sitting at the table without participation; that is a choice. She has taught me how to build the capacity to create a team.
Navigating systematic change. “I probably wouldn’t have been able to do this job without her. I had maxed out my own ability.” One of my team members said “LeeAnn is the first consultant who was looking out for the school’s benefit; not for her own business.” LeeAnn gets in and learns the system; she doesn’t force canned change. “She has taught me that systemic change is fluid and how it will flow is through people.”

How do you see LeeAnn’s work differentiated from other consultants?
“I have not really identified how she is able to accomplish this, but LeeAnn’s work enables or forces people to go under the waterline. It is not always pleasant to be in that place, but she has a knack for getting people to go there…. She allows time for reflection, but ultimately, people are held accountable for their, “stuff . I could always count on her to hold me accountable.”
