Testimonials

"I am convinced that there is a significant return to our bottom line and our quality of worklife (as a result of your interventions over the years). We can't quantify the lawsuit we never had, the EEOC charge we never received, the employee we didn't lose, or the management/employee relationship that is saved. You are a consummate professional who balances the knowledge of the subject with the knowledge of people and ever-changing group dynamics."

—Penny J. Wise, Manager,  Ocean Spray Cranberries

"In addition to her superb platform skills, we found Natalie to be a very open, responsive, and supportive facilitator who understands the 'why' of change as well as the 'how.'"

—Gwynne Jamieson, Manager,  Data General

"Great workshop! Probably the most well organized and intelligently thought out workshop I've been to at this company. Got right down to brass tacks, without engaging in any corporate "happy talk," i.e., this didn't come across as propagandistic to me. I found it a useful overview, leaving me with valuable guidelines."

—Michael Clark, Network Development Manager,  Polymer Technology Corp.

"We had searched for someone with the knowledge and professionalism necessary to teach such a legally complex subject as sexual harassment, and the talent to communicate such a sensitive subject in a way that is both comfortable and effective for men and women. Natalie delivered exactly what we needed, and did so with the right measures of humor to promote discussion and current legal cases to convey the seriousness of our responsibility."

—Michael L. Ashe, Chief Operations Officer,  Loring, Wolcott & Coolidge

"Natalie has the ability to present difficult material effectively, by combining her authoritative factual presentation with warmth and humor, putting everyone with whom she is dealing at ease. That allows her message to come through loudly and clearly."

—David S. Rosenthal, Employment Atty,   Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar

"Although at first reluctant, I found the workshop to be interesting, well thought out, and attuned to the "real life" needs and issues that we face, as well and (this is critical) the dire need for introspection and philosophy that transcends the workday. Your approach as an educator appeals to my predilection for well-read, well-rounded people who can draw on a variety of experiences to further this sort of discovery. I enjoyed it; it was stimulating and extremely well handled by a person truly committed to fostering esteem, respect, and cooperative approaches to our company's success."

—Andrew F. St Pierre, Senior Vice President,  John Hancock Advisers

"Your knowledge of the law and attention to our firm policies resulted in seminars which addressed our specific goals. Most importantly, you succeeded in presenting sensitive material in a way that was comfortable for both men and women. You incorporated the right level of humor necessary to connect yourself with the audience, without minimizing the seriousness of the subject matter. The combination of lecture, role plays and audience participation resulted in healthy discussion amongst both attorneys and staff which lasted far beyond the seminar itself."

—Megan A. McCormack, Director of Admin. & HR,   Hinckley Allen Snyder LLP
