Happy Clients

“I've had the great honor of working with Miles & Jen on community food systems development for close to two decades now and they still never cease to amaze me with their brilliance and skillfulness. They are particularly skilled at facilitating large, diverse collaboratives and designing processes that get us to our intended outcomes. They are a joy to work with - bringing humor and ease to every encounter - and they are who I turn to when I need help finding my way through complex challenges. Miles' coaching support has been a lifeline over the years, and he has a real knack for helping me find my own answers and tap into my own wisdom. I can't say enough good things about this team - highly recommend for anyone looking for consultant partners who are both visionary and action-oriented - this team gets good stuff done! ”

“The individual mentoring was one of the highlights of the services KTC offered. Prior to UVA, my experience running or facilitating a meeting was little to none. I have not had an opportunity to work with someone on a personal level to create and strengthen my facilitating skills. Jen created a “neutral environment” where I felt comfortable in asking questions without feeling judged. Jen provided me with tools that I will use not just in UVA but also in my work and personal life. In our short time, she taught me how to confidently work through difficult conversations, set clear expectation for a meeting and communicate them with the group. Each meeting provided an opportunity of reflection, learning how to identify areas that need improvement, creating a plan and continue to practice, and self-empowerment. One of the many tools I will value is learning how incorporate my genuine self in all areas of my workplace; being true to my identity. “
