Suzanne Martin worked with us to assess our agency’s strengths and weaknesses and assisted us in developing our identity statement and a screening tool we continue to use when deciding to pursue potential projects and grants.

We appreciate Suzanne and continue to reach out to her with questions as she has become a partner in our success.
Dr. Martin facilitated two workshops on our campus that assisted female college students with developing assertive communication skills and identifying their personal leadership traits. Both workshops were excellent! Dr. Martin has a wonderful rapport with her audience and the content of the workshops was relevant and useful.
Dr. Martin skillfully guided our team through the Find Your Why process so that we, in turn, could clearly communicate to our clients the passion that drives our work every day. The message has resonated with our team, our clients and even prospective clients, so we’ve incorporated it into our marketing communications and quarterly staff meetings. We live our WHY every day.
Suzanne’s experience in the nonprofit world has been invaluable to our Center. She has provided insight and objectivity—this has led to the Center making adjustments in programmatic design and day-to-day operations. I feel her experience and feedback has helped the Center grow and focus on our mission.

Suzanne was able to help me strategically think through situations and look at all options. She is a great resource for me.
Suzanne’s organizational development counsel works because she provides concrete, effective tools for consensus-building among the full scope of stakeholders that an organization needs on board in order to evolve. That skill is leveraged not only by her multifaceted experience working with diverse leaders and organizations, but also by the authentic passion and humanity she brings to the work.
Suzanne helped our board through the Non-Profit Strategy Revolution process in 2019, ultimately enabling us to respond swiftly and effectively to the challenges of the pandemic. We used our competitive advantages and strategy screen to pivot our services, advance our mission, continue our impact and sustain our organization.
My company was fortune enough to work with Dr. Martin on our Find Your Why project last year.

We could not have done it without her!
