Leslie Harrison - Chair-elect, East Texas Food Bank Board of Directors

“We were immensely pleased with TD’s facilitation of the East Texas Food Bank board retreat. He assisted us in formulating our goals, sent a proposed agenda to review, and structured a program that incorporated everything we conveyed to him. He was in contact with us for several weeks prior to the event, checking in to see if we had questions and making suggestions to ensure that we had a successful retreat. He kept us on schedule, his presentation was thorough, and he was engaging and energetic. We appreciated his congenial style and expertise and would absolutely use his services again.”

“TD led our Mission, Vision and Values sessions when I was in charge of sales and operations at PrimeSource BP, and I was so impressed with his thoughtful, deliberate and effective facilitation style that I hired him to guide my team through the same process when I took the helm at Continental Battery. He thoroughly prepared us with insight and inspiration, then conducted a comprehensive, efficient process, leaving us with the strategic framework that guides the company to this day. Not only were the sessions successful, we also had a lot of fun and achieved buy-in across our executive team.”

“I needed to align the global sourcing and distribution enterprise I led as CEO. To get the process started, I pulled TD in to inspire and align our top executives, then facilitate a two-day strategy session. TD comprehensively educated himself on our industry, then expertly managed some healthy team friction as he focused our brainstorming. The result was a strategy that moved us to a new culture and a high level of operational alignment. I’ll call TD in a heartbeat before heading down that road again.”
