In 2019, we engaged Melanie to facilitate our team approach to developing our company Vision, Mission, and Core Values. This something we had made several attempts to work on previously but we kept getting drawn to working in the business vs. on it.

Through sometimes deep and probing questions and intentional listening, Melanie quickly understood our culture and warmly engaged the team in effective brainstorming sessions. She was astute in noting and highlighting just the right words we were using in conversation to express who we are, where we want to go, why, and how we will get there. We were thrilled with the outcome, after 5 days working together we succeeded with developing a short to mid-term strategic plan.

While we have lived and worked our core values from inception, this tool has made a significant difference in our management communication having transitioned many years ago from a small family run business to a major competitive hardware business with 65 employees and 2 locations Belize. Little did we know then how much we would rely on our vision in 2020 during the COVID pandemic, having our vision and purpose articulated in this manner and embraced by our team has kept us focused, aligned and intentional about sustaining and growing our business so that we can continue uplifting and transforming lives through productivity and service for many, many years to come.

In addition to effectively facilitating the planning process, Melanie was extremely supportive with ideas and suggestions for a phased approach to communicating and rolling out the plan throughout the company. Melanie was also helpful with contributing to our capacity building objective as we formalized company org. structure, job descriptions, and employee guidelines.

Not only for her skills and personable, efficient, and effective approach but also for her reasonable/competitive rates, I highly recommend Melanie for any similar visioneering exercise.
