"Banyan had the skills, the accessibility and the willingness to customize processes to meet our needs. Terrill, Monique and Sonya worked extensively with staff and board members over a period of about 18 months and today we are all in a more confident, informed, understanding and inquisitive place. I am excited about the future of Ophelia’s Place in large part to the work we’ve done with Banyan. And I am even more excited about all the girls who will feel included and welcome at Ophelia’s Place for years to come. Banyan made us better!"
"My organization completed a Strategic Plan under Terrill's thoughtful guidance. We are thrilled with the product and were surprised by how much we enjoyed the process. Our facilitator was exceptionally skilled, resulting in a planning retreat that was inclusive, constructive and creative, while still remaining practical. The resulting plan is ambitious but the incorporated implementation timetable will keep us on track."
"Their facilitation skills are the best I have ever experienced. I wish I could work with them on a regular basis to make all our meetings as productive and enjoyable."
"Terrill is an extraordinarily thoughtful and talented organizational consultant. He brings a wonderful sense of humor to his work, along with superb people skills and outstanding knowledge about group dynamics. With an ability to be direct when necessary, he balances his guidance with encouraging, enabling advice."
"Monique is warmhearted and a grounded and centered presence for leaders and groups. Monique’s stable leadership was critical in midwifing our organization through immense change."
"As an executive coach, Terrill has helped me develop into a stronger leader who cares about her staff while staying focused on the strategic goals of the organization. I don't know how I would have progressed to the leader I am today without Terrill's support."
"Monique has an exceptional ability to captivate the room while harnessing the leadership in the group and creating space for everyone to participate fully. Her intersectional analysis, decades of experience, and unique perspectives are always enlightening. She creates a perfect container for coaching organizations as they give birth to excellence."
"Terrill was remarkable in his insightful and deft approach to significant tensions in our growing nonprofit. He quickly recognized both our major challenge and our strengths; thoughtfully shared the information he’d gathered and his thoughts about it; organized and cheered us on as we decided how to move forward. Terrill’s integrity, warmth, quiet sense of humor, confidence, and his sense of when and how to intervene made all the difference in re-inventing and re-invigorating our organization."
