Executive Director, Powerful Voices Non-Profit Organization - Concerning MGS facilitation/presentation at Staff Off-Site

"I heard such great feedback from folks after our retreat. I think everyone got something out of it and in general felt "fed" by the day. Thanks so much for passing along your knowledge and wisdom. We'd love to continue to work with you."

Participant in MGS's Building Organizational Partnerships workshop

"The workshop couldn't have been more helpful. I am coming up with ways to help my boss be more efficient and effective with his time with me. I think that it will help me to understand the bigger picture and be able to relate to his frustrations better."

Executive Director, Community Technology Institute Building Organizational Partnerships workshop

"MGS has helped CTI rise to greater professionalism, better service, and a stronger, more cohesive foundation. Sometimes consultants, despite good intentions, create more work for an already strapped organization without producing anything tangibly useful. Our work with MGS has been just the opposite: rejuvenating, effective, and efficient.

Barbara and Maureen have delivered above and beyond what we hoped for, with refreshing humanism, insight, and humor. I would recommend MGS without reserve to any organization truly interested in learning how to improve its way of doing business in the world."

Manager in a "Dot.Com" Startup - Re: MGS Individual Coaching:

"...just got back from working with management consultants, Barbara Grant and Maureen MacCarthy. I must say, they are amazing. Really. I pay for the time I spend with them, but I get a bargain."

Student in Organizational Communication Course at the University of Washington:

"I want to thank you for such a wonderful class! I cannot believe how much I learned in such a short amount of time and had so much fun while doing it. Things that had always bewildered me a little began to make a lot more sense. I interviewed with Starbucks yesterday and had much more confidence as I talked about different organizational systems I have set up and their dynamics."

Participant in Career Development Workshop at Microsoft:

"I really enjoyed the whole workshop. Everything was so clearly presented. The examples given were excellent, I can now clearly articulate a lot of formerly vague ideas and develop a more clear strategy for my own professional development."
