Testimonials:
Cara Kiggins
Chief Program Officer, Gabriel's Angels
"Not only was Abby a fantastic Theory of Change workshop facilitator, the visual outcome has kept the inspiration from the workshop flowing!
We’ve all experienced workshops where we feel fired up for our mission while in the moment, only for that fire to fade in the grind of daily work. The visual, however, has allowed that inspiration to remain as a coal we can tap into when we need to get fired up again. We are sharing our new Theory of Change visual left and right, and getting great feedback from potential supporters and our loyal community alike."
Matthew Fehling
CEO, Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest
“We recently hired Abby to facilitate and lead a half-day retreat with over 65 directors of 4 different boards (yes, you read that right). The experience was, in a word, smooth. Abby truly listened to our needs and designed a process that was not only inclusive of all attendees but also delivered a number of actionable and impactful ideas. Additionally, her communication with the internal team throughout the process was prompt and professional.”
Grace O’Sullivan
Vice President of Corporate Engagement and Strategic Partnerships, Arizona State University
“Abby did a wonderful job conducting research with our key clients, designing a workshop, and engaging key stakeholders. She was able to inject creativity into the entire process and worked hard to ensure the workshop was fun AND productive. A winning combination.”
