“The changes were easy to implement, reduced the aggravation and stress within the team.”

Participant

I didn’t think my team would open up. They did and I was REALLY surprised by what they had to say. I thought the problems were different and much more difficult to solve. Boy was I wrong.

Community Advisor

“We had an extremely dysfunctional process. No one talked to each other, no one knew what the others were doing, and the formats of the information caused huge problems both upstream and downstream. Gail developed and facilitated a workshop using her Six Sigma and LEGO Serious Play background which helped us see the end-to-end process, uncover our specific process gaps, and within 3 days of sharing this with the upstream and downstream process owners we were able to improve the overall process by 50%! Amazing work team and THANK YOU Gail for your help!”

- Sales Director

“The kids had such a great time building their town and getting to explain the purpose for each model.”

"

Heidi Bailey, Marketing Director

Though I've done LEGO Serious Play workshops in the past, this session was the most personally and professionally gratifying, revealing and meaningful. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Matthew Clark, Owner Clark Counseling - https://clarkcounseling.com/

“We are going through another organizational change, people were fearful of losing their jobs or how the changes will impact them. The employees who remained would have more work and they already felt overwhelmed. Gail's expertise in Change Management helped us plan for the resistance, by listening to the employees and not just the bottom line impacts.”

Change Session Participant

“We realized we hadn’t done a very good job in the past with change initiatives and we wanted this to be different. So we hired Gail to facilitate a change management session. The session was well received, the facilitation provided more collaborative input and outcomes.”

“The end-to-end process view through building, provided the team with a visual method to showcase and share with others. This the end-to-end view helped us identify improvements, immediate, short-term, mid-term & long-term. Many 'quick-wins' were implemented immediately.”

Ms. Kulas has a rare talent: She can assess a seemingly complicated problem and reduce it to its lowest denominators. She then guides the principals to actions that address the problem and prevent it from recurring. She is adept at giving her clients the space to find their own "aha" moments.

Gail did an amazing job creating my business plan for my new business. She took me from start to finish.

I took over a new team and felt there were some underlying/unspoken challenges. I decided to use an LSP facilitator to help me with a team meeting. We spent a day together building our future team mission and values. The team said it was the best session they had attended and really helped gain the respect of each other in a non-threatening and fun way. Thank you.

She helped us collaborate better by learning how to communicate differently, work with each other more effectively, build goals and objectives and become more customer focused. As a result it has made it possible to get the company, and our whole team turned around and pulling together." -Business Owner
