"The board self-assessment Better World Strategies facilitated for us was a very revealing process that spurred productive dialogue among our board members. Not only did it help us identify issues that need attention—it got our board members to talk openly about them."

John Hishmeh, Executive Director

"Our international strategic planning committee was privileged to benefit from Michelle Lampher's expertise in strategic planning and her creative and valuable input. She demonstrated a consistent ability to see the big picture and move forward a diverse team. In particular, her commitment to thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of structures, systems, processes, and procedures enabled her to recommend alternatives outside the conventional wisdom and engage team support for new ideas. In this example and countless others, she has demonstrated her ability to envision new approaches with a constant eye towards workable implementation."

"Michelle is simply top notch! She has assisted my organization on several occasions and I have worked with her on industry working groups as well. She is always professional. Her understanding of the industry is both broad and deep. She delivers on objectives thoroughly, with great attention to detail—and on time. Perhaps most importantly, she drives the process for the projects she takes on making the projects very easy to manage from a distance. Her delivery is truly phenomenal. We will be back over and over again!"

Bradley Smith, President and CEO
