“I hadn’t realized how entrenched I was in so many time-wasting habits until Ann Latham made them transparent. It’s almost embarrassing.
“She observed a few meetings and then provided me with feedback and very specific, practical techniques, not generalizations or theory, that have changed the way I think, conduct meetings, and work with my staff and Board. Each meeting and phone call with Ann left me very aware and armed with techniques that are so applicable, so practical, and just hit home so hard.
“One thing I really appreciate is that she sugar-coats nothing, provides critical feedback, and demands critical thinking. And yet, she redirected me with great patience. The results have definitely exceeded my expectations, and what I’ve learned will have broad and long term impact.
“Our meetings are dramatically shorter and more powerful, but it goes beyond that. Our clarity of purpose, decision-making, problem solving, and communication are also improved.
“Ann has certainly made me a stronger, more effective leader and manager. I would recommend Ann to others and intend to hire her again myself.”
