“We have grown personally and professionally at a rate we could have never expected.”

Prior to working with Rita, we held a number of off-site, facilitated retreats for our firm. They had been somewhat successful but we never felt they took us to the next level as an organization. Rita opened our eyes to the power of co-creating a vision with our team and worked with us to design our 2-day retreat.
It was a resounding success. Her method and guidance allowed us all to envision and explore in a supportive, creative context. We were thrilled with the level of participation by everyone. It wasn't working. We had fun. And the results blew us away!
After developing the vision together, we spent the second day identifying the means for putting this into place. Everyone had a renewed sense of confidence and enthusiasm for the direction we are headed. The collective takeaway from the retreat was how very much we all are in alignment and share a common love for our work.
Since then, each task group has set up goals for the year. Some have already been achieved in just one month! The Company spirit remains high as we have our collective vision and action plan in place.
Rita takes great care in truly understanding each person and the organization. She has the ability to graciously tackle any elephants in the room and bring out a deeper meaning to the issues at hand. We have grown personally and professionally at a rate we could have never expected. This has resulted in an increase in profitability in each of the 3 years of our work together. We highly recommend working with Rita!
