J.M., President/CEO, 360 Communities
Verified @360communities.orgBill is a skilled facilitator who combines leadership development with group thought advancement. I was impressed by the focus and intentionality he brought to his preparation and the manner in which he utilized me appropriately to ensure alignment on main objectives while gaining clarity on group dynamics. He asked questions in a way that elevated thinking, listened attentively, and provided the "tools" to encourage group interaction and a deepening of relationships. Bill gave attention to the space being created in order to promote sharing of all voices and clarity of purpose. He was attentive to time, but remained flexible in order to move with the groups momentum while adjusting in the moment to meet the overall schedule for the day. Bill brought positive energy, encouragement, and unbiased leadership.
