“The Federation has engaged Warren to work with our staff team on a wide range of projects over the past four years. He is our ‘go to’ person for any project that requires any combination of knowledge and skills in project management, group facilitation, evaluation and research, and analysis and reporting. He is superb in all areas. Beyond this, he brings to any team a positive attitude, creativity, and a deep commitment to do great and meaningful work. He has helped us launch new applied research projects and served as the project coordinator for an extensive review of child and youth residential care services in BC.

“We greatly appreciated Kim’s strengths-based approaching, and honing in on what’s really important in our strategic planning session.  Her background in non-profits, understanding of the political climate, and facilitation skills were true assets to support our organization to set goals based on what we do well, while minding the context of the challenges around us.  We would recommend Kim to other groups looking to bring their heart back into strategic planning.”

From a recent three day performance measurement workshop:

“Warren presents the information that is understandable. Great workshop!”

“Thanks Warren. You were able to present the information in a clean, entertaining way. I have finished these three days feeling somewhat energized and ready to get back to focusing on program outcomes and talking to staff and getting them back “on board” with CARF language.”

“Excellent presenter. Presented with humour and gentle approach. Excellent vocal skills.”

“Great presentation Warren: engaging and relevant to all – worked with the crowd.

Obvious that Warren knows and lives what he teaches. Thank you. Open to constant feedback and completely aware of classes’ capacity to learn. Thank you- job well done.”

“Excellent presentation. It really tied everything together for me. I can now close the loop and make meaning of the information gathered.”

“Kim and Warren are WONDERFUL consultants…for many reasons!! Individually, they have strong skill sets and diverse experiences and knowledge bases to draw upon. As a team, they work in a complementary, coherent manner that maximizes their individual talents and strengths. Both are trusted, well-known  friends to the Community Living sector and other movements that advance community development and meaningful change.  Kim and Warren’s facilitation skills are exceptional! They create a process wherein all stakeholders are fully engaged, participating, respected, valued, and listened to. Furthermore, they are committed to working with an organization to support and celebrate its story. Once Kim and Warren have met with stakeholders to gather information and feedback, they generate a robust, insightful, and transformative document.  Although we knew the quality of Kim and Warren’s work was very high, it still exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend Kim and Warren (and WRH Consulting)!”
