What clients have said about working with MLS Consulting

We could not be happier with the outcomes of our work with Marcy.  She took a custom approach to our professional development and program planning needs.  Marcy is committed, flexible, professional, and took ownership of every aspect of our work together.  We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Marcy and highly recommend the services of MLS Consulting! 

Mike Kenney, Co-Director & Co-Founder, Waiting Child Fund

 

Marcy engaged a very diverse group of individuals through the formation of a two county consortium focusing on a very broad topic.  She created an atmosphere that encouraged participation and modeled respect.  Marcy not only facilitated the development of common values and goals but developed the setting for cross-pollination across geographical and organizational boundaries.

 

 

Janet Weisberg, The Raymond John Wean Foundation

 

Marcy was the quintessential facilitator; she ensured that all voices were heard, that the process maintained its integrity – and that we kept to our timetable!  There is no doubt that the result of all those months of meeting, writing and re-writing would not have been as successful were it not for Marcy’s skillful guidance.  It was truly a pleasure to work with her.

I have participated in many retreats like today’s and this was the best run and most effective of all of them. Congratulations to you for selecting Marcy Shankman to facilitate and to her for pulling it off. Very effective, with appropriate warm fuzzies and, more important, focus on issues and action items. And we finished on schedule – a first in my experience.

Jim Branagan, Secretary and Founding Board Member, Shaker Works

Marcy is a committed professional of the highest caliber. She brings intelligence, insight, commitment and an intuitive sense of how to engage with youth in deep and meaningful ways. She embraces the process of facilitation. She prepares diligently and creatively and she approaches her facilitation with rigor, flexibility and genuine reflection. She is a pleasure to work with.
