“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.”

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.

- Facilities Manager

"Gail's experience in business development, process management and organization allows us to execute more effectively."

Business Owner

“The facilitated session was designed with our outcome in mind.”

Team Leader

“Gail was instrumental in developing a project plan for the change and working closely with each of us to ensure we were communicating effectively and at the appropriate level.”

Change Session Participant

“The session allowed us to leave with a team charter and a new respect for the experience and skills within the team. It also helped us communicate better and integrate the new employees by sharing experiences through existing employees.”

Participant

“It was extremely important to use an unbiased external facilitator. We will use this type of session again.”

Process Owner

“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.”

– Department Head of Educational Institution

“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

"Thank you for inviting me to participate in "A Spa Day for the Sole: Rediscovering yourself through Play" workshop. The building challenges you gave us really helped everyone dig into their unique attributes, reflect on our best strengths, speak openly about our weaknesses, and express our future hopes and dreams in such a creative and inspiring way. "

Heidi Bailey, Marketing Director

Business Owner

“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

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.

Marketing Participant

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.

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.

Change Session Participant

"We hired Gail to help us turn around our company. We had many problems, high-turnover, angry employees, angry owners, and we were losing customers left and right. 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

Marina - Owner

We all walked into the session as strangers, but by the end of the session, we were able to build models describing each other! I've never gotten to know a group of people so quickly.

Marketing Participant

Gail did an amazing job creating my business plan for my new business. She took me from start to finish. I gave her as much information as I could but came back with a plan that absolutely blew my mind as well as those companies that I dealt with to get my business started. The research and information she applied to my plan helped me start my business. Always professional and easy to work with and full of knowledge. It was definitely worth everything to have Gail do my business plan.
