| ...about Kate Trygstad and Creative Facilitating: “Kate did an exceptional job designing the day’s activities that elicited valuable feedback from our advisory group members. This will assist us in strategic planning.” -Mary Brasler, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America "The Lourie Center Early Head Start (LCEHS) staff would like to thank you for facilitating our program’s Teambuilding Retreat on August 8th-August 10th. As our guide you helped us to experience what can happen when we, as a program, pool all our energies together to work towards a common goal....Through organized self- expressive activities, trust walks/trust circles, team games and group discussions you set the stage for what turned out to be interesting - and unexpected results....Overall, Kate, your guidance was instrumental in our understanding that a productive team consists of a variety of characteristics and when joined together it can be a powerful force." "Thanks again for your help in facilitating the New Orleans focus group on engaging National Service in disaster work. The event was a great success and we now have a much clearer focus for the work ahead in the project. I’ m especially pleased at the outcomes, given the very high expectations from the program officers at the Federal agency that oversees this work and the diverse interests represented by those in the group. We’ve gotten nothing but praise from those who participated, and notably great feedback from our program officers (who have very high standards). " -Andy King, Director, Training and Consulting, Points of Light Foundation "I just wanted to take time out to thank you again for assisting us on Wednesday. Your organization and facilitation skills helped us to see out of different (and cleaner) lenses and to think more broadey. Again, “thank-you”. " - Andrea Irby Robinson, Director of Administration, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington DC Region “The facilitator was excellent and brought everything into focus.” "Kate Trygstad has a deep capacity to listen and work effectively with diverse people."
