I had the unique opportunity to work closely with Renée for many years. She's a great leader, a trustworthy colleague, and brings incredible value to any project and team. She has a knack for creating order and building strong systems. She's especially gifted in seeing through large transitions, by cutting through the fray, focusing on the objectives that matter, and leading staff to the end goal.

Renée is an expert editor and exceptional proofreader who takes a step back and looks for overall consistency and nuance, in addition to catching the details. Neither myself nor two other editors caught the things she found.

Beautifully written! You took a sow’s ear and turned it into a silk purse. Thanks for putting on your development hat!

This is AWESOME!! I really appreciate you taking the time to read through my draft donor appeal letter. Everything you've shared makes so much sense and it's WAY better now. Thank you!

Renée is skilled at finding technological solutions to help non-profits be more effective. She is a creative problem solver and is good at listening and helping people figure out exactly what it is they are looking for.

You ask the right questions, which is great because often times we don't get questions. There is a discovery process. You're prompting us to have that dialogue with you which we appreciate that because it helps steer us and put us in the right frame of mind.

Renée improved my productivity and time management through innovative software and techniques. She helped me understand staff work type priorities, motivators, and stressors, which helped me understand myself and how I work with others.

Renée built a custom volunteer portal that is inviting, easy to access and use, and has so much information. Her instructions are wonderful, making it an easy process to add new content. We are very impressed and will use this daily with our board, volunteers, and staff. I think the world of Renée and her work. Very appreciated!

Thank you again for building the templates and systems for us to run with! I just did a big update of the grants tracker and am so appreciative of all of your help.

Renée carefully and methodically strengthened our organizational structure, established sophisticated financial management practices, and greatly improved communications. She also brought in a number of tools that improved workflow and outcomes. She is thoughtful and methodical in her approach. She will not take on a job that she isn't prepared to do well.

We've run into situations where we've hired writers who said they know what they are doing, but they don't. You obviously have that sophistication and that flow that we are looking for. We're really grateful.

Renée approaches organizational issues as a system and reviews things holistically. She is a superb listener and, more importantly, empathetic to the needs of staff and the organization.

Renée is fearless in her quest for improvement. She seeks to identify opportunities for betterment across the organization, instituting systems and operations that make it easier for employees to show up and do their jobs well.

I have hired many consultants and professionals over the decades, and no one possesses that special "buy-in" quality more than Renée. She is intelligent, inquisitive, committed and, best of all, fun. Renée is the epitome of someone you want to work with. You simply will not find a better professional to join your team, or captain it.

I am enthusiastic and impressed with the full complement of services that Renée offers. She listens deeply and pays attention to what she observes. She possesses a rare combination of intuition, creativity, and proven business knowledge. Renée asks all the right questions to gain focus and clarity. I feel empowered after our work sessions, and tasks that seem momentous become achievable.

As interim executive director, Renée was instrumental in helping the organization continue to operate effectively. She handled all aspects of the operation’s fiscal management, HR and fundraising activities, and was a valuable resource to the board as we conducted our search for a permanent director. Renée’s depth of experience in non-profit executive management ensured a smooth transition.

Renée regularly helps me update all of my organization's public-facing literature. Her design eye, the options she gives us, and her content guidance are invaluable. She’s helped us prioritize those we serve and community partners with whom we build important relationships. This was the first time I'd seen graphic design accomplish diplomacy!

Renée is very organized and always moves forward to address challenges, rather than avoiding them. I have seen her respond very effectively to difficult situations in a calm, confident manner. She is articulate and persuasive in expressing her position to staff and others.

Since I started in April, I have discovered more and more of the incredible development work you have done, and I have been able to build off it. Thank you for putting us on such solid footing. It continues to pay off!

I contracted Renée to be our interim communications and development director, and she quickly became my trusted sounding board and thought partner. She is a joy to work with–smart, experienced, organized, and creative, with a broad base of knowledge and skills. I can always count on the high quality and timeliness of her work, which takes so much worry and effort off my plate.

Renée’s writing, layout, and visuals are all top-notch. She had to do her magic while dealing with seven distinct personalities and egos. Renée definitely went above and beyond the firm’s contract with her to give us a superior product.

Your mentorship and encouragement have brought me back to life in this role. I'm feeling confident and empowered to engage with donors, and we've seen a significant increase in donations as a result. I'm just so thankful for you!
