What It's Like to Work Together

In Our Clients' Words

Dr. Schneider steeped herself in our culture. A very, very different way of doing consulting.

She has created a felt experience that transforms our patients.

Robert Hilliker, Co-Founder, The Prairie Recovery Center

Sara was able to very quickly enter into our culture and understand this is what this team really wants to provide from their heart for people.

Nicholas Collura, Director of Spiritual Care, Redeemer Hospice

Our team's experience working with Sara was one of such support, such concrete practical help, and such creativity that it allowed us actually to transform this vague and nebulous idea that we had into something real and concrete.

One-on-One Work with Sara

"I really wanted to be more confident, take more risks, and speak up when necessary. I was able to accomplish all of these things over the past few months."

"The funny thing is, one of the most important skills that I learned while being a leader is being a better 'follower' -- to be humble, a good listener, and know when to take a back seat."

"The best part was that I didn't feel like I 'did' anything. I just harnessed the awesomeness of my work mates and let it shine through. It feels so good to be that kind of leader."

"Thank you for your expertise and compassionate heart. "

"Sara really inspires me to rise to her vision of me.

"Very tactful and encouraging with her feedback. Just what I needed to move forward as an administrator."

"Having you push me outside my comfort zone was not always fun (I must admit) but it was so beneficial to me and my career."

"Sara asks you to tread where you're not comfortable but doesn't demand it -- all in the name of learning."

Our Client Liaisons

"The retreat emphasized not only in content but in structure that, rather than an act of solo heroism, leadership is a process of partnership."

"You did all that was necessary and more. No way could we have done all we did, and with a spirit and togetherness never experienced before. Not sure just how you did that."

Conference Workshop

"[Her design with us has increased] "patient agency and self-direction. It's a stroke of genius—they can start from where they are in their own treatment experience."

Robert H.

Addiction Recovery Network

"Sara's exercises provoked connective thinking. Your presentation is carefully woven, yet teaches one to weave."

"I love it when a consultant becomes a real partner; Sara did that very naturally. I greatly respect her skills and integrity.

The design and the implementation took us to the next level in developing good leadership and communication skills."

“When you work with a consultant, you want two things:

You want someone who’s able to listen carefully and really understand the reality on the ground, the organizational dynamics, someone who isn’t going to come in with preconceived notions or with a copy-paste approach.

At the same time, you want someone who’s going to be able to integrate what she observes and be able to deliver real, concrete, specific, and practicable feedback. And we got both of those things with Sara."
