I recommend Kate “Sassy” Sassoon with the highest degree of confidence. She is experienced and skillful at working with diverse groups, she is organized, and she is reliable.
You have such a gift for talking about challenging topics in a grounded, free and humorous way.
Tenaciously positive, impressive memory, great stacking, good application of firmness. Thank you!
Thank you for creating a safe space for us! We needed help with that!
There are two of our members that can ‘own’ the floor and sometimes stop forward motion - you asked them great questions and kept us moving forward.
Kate’s presence at our conference was energizing and fun!
Thank you for your efforts to help us resolve our impasse in a healthy and honest way.
Facilitation was both formal enough and informal enough. Sassy provided a great deal of consulting knowledge!
