“We recently hired Abby to facilitate and lead a half-day retreat with over 65 directors of 4 different boards (yes, you read that right). The experience was, in a word, smooth. Using more words, the experience had a great flow to it, capitalizing on both large group and small group dynamics, and never felt unwieldy or cold.
Abby truly listened to our needs and designed a process that was not only inclusive of all attendees, but also delivered a number of actionable and impactful ideas...”
