Reuben Rotman, CEO Jewish Federation Family Services

“I highly recommend Laurel for your team building retreat.  We hired Laurel to facilitate a day-long retreat to launch our new network of executive leaders. Because this was the first time we were bringing a newly merged network together it was important the day went well.  Laurel stood out during the selection process because of her ability to ask thoughtful and probing questions about our members’ needs. Laurel’s depth and understanding of the issue combined with her ability to facilitate powerful and pointed group exercises and discussion resulted in a highly engaging experience. She also brings a clear and compelling perspective on the challenges public leadership presents for a group with very diverse capacities. Afterward many of our members shared their light bulb moments along with plans and commitments for taking their leadership to the next level. In fact, one of our members proudly shared how as a result of what she learned from Laurel’s training, she was confident enough and newly motivated to participate in a federal lawsuit on behalf of their clients.”
