TESTIMONIALS

"Communicating information in a clear, concise, and meaningful manner was one of Beth's greatest strengths. We benefited greatly from Beth's expertise, innovative thinking, team building, and leadership. I highly recommend her." ~ Beth Melcher, Clinical Director for The Durham Center

Letter of reference from Beth Melcher, Ph.D.

"Beth Bordeaux brought both professionalism and compassion to our task of dreaming a more clarified dream for our nonprofit organization. She worked with our individual strengths as she uncovered them and helped us strive to dig deeper to ask the more important questions. Her personal background in both ministry and the secular marketplace made her the ideal one to help us hear/respond to those in our audience coming from each of those perspectives. Beth also has a great sense of humor and is well-organized. She created an agenda that was workable, not overwhelming, and we were able to complete the challenging task in the timeframe we had available. She brought the best out in our newly-formed board and through the process helped us all to get to know one another better. Thank you, Beth. I look forward to working with you again someday!" ~ Laura Savage-Rains, Board of Directors, Global Women - connecting and empowering women to transform our worlds.

"Our Board of Directors benefitted greatly from Beth's facilitation. By understanding the goals and needs of the organization through interviews with key leaders in advance, she designed a Visioning Retreat that exceeded our expectations. It helped the Board bond, strengthened our common Mission, and allowed us to identify where we need to focus in coming years. Appreciative Inquiry was new to me, but proved to be a highly effective tool. I can't wait for our next Board retreat with Beth." ~ Peter Zierz, Board President, PLM Families Together
