Testimonials

“I have known Ted (along with many other transition consultants) for decades and have enormous and unique respect for his unusually thoughtful approach. He has the ability to size up even the most complex situation. He readies the organization for its own specific future by helping it understand what it needs to do next while valuing where it has already been. We provide the complications and he makes sense of and simplifies the road forward!”

National Media Organization

Founder

"They are the best. Multidisciplinary experience. Geographic exposure in all US regions, confidential, tactful, thorough. Skillful at engaging the Board, the existing management team, and candidates in a way that gets great results and highly satisfied stakeholders."

National Child Welfare Organization

Board Chair

"Your counsel, recruitment and professional support in our search for a President was key to our success. I enthusiastically recommend you to any institution that is faced with a critical search for leadership."

Pac 10 University

Board Chair

“I can say unequivocally that Ted is the best search professional I’ve ever worked with. He is far more than a “transactional” search person. He approached the work as a partner to the search committee. His refreshingly consultative approach to the issues surrounding the search, his equally refreshing candor with board members, staff and candidates and his sparkling intellect and his humanity shone through every day.”

Physicians for Human Rights

Board Chair

“Your patience allowed you to gain the confidence of five difficult and independent politicians. Your astonishing creativity and your gentle way brought us to a remarkable result.”

Governor

I think of most people in your field as loud, clunky motorboats. They throw off a big wake, rock back and forth and finally get you in to port feeling a bit queasy. You, on the other hand, are like a fine-tuned sailboat. You got the wind at our back, steered us through the journey and smoothly up to the dock, where we stood to marvel at the beautiful sunset, ready for a new day.

National Nonprofit

Board Chair

I have worked with every major search firm. Every time I am left wondering, was this worth the cost and effort? For the first time, I do not think that. You made an incredible contribution to this process. Now I understand the difference.

National Union

President

The cabinet officers you recruited for my administration have made all the difference, not only in their leadership of their agencies but also in the quality of thinking and problem-solving we have accomplished as a cabinet group. Our state has been confronted with enormous challenges and you put us in a position to respond effectively. I want you to know that I know what you have given us. On behalf of our state, thank you.

Western Governor
