“Facilitation and Training for CMC Dean’s Retreat that included: trust building, team effectiveness, collaboration, accountability, decision making, roles, and feedback. Andrea’s leadership was able to bring a group of CMC leaders together to build team effectiveness and increase our capacity for communication. She helped us see that we are alike in so many ways which took down some walls that were standing in the way of our group’s effectiveness. Because our team spans several different departments and locations, communication silos can easily emerge and self-perpetuate. Since the workshop we did with Andrea, our cohesion and communication has increased exponentially, and this improvement is based on the foundation of trust we were able to start building with Andrea.”

“CORE utilized RFCCL and Andrea Palm-Porter to guide/facilitate our Board/Staff retreat where she continued work that we’d begun with Ron Gager.  We recently asked her back to facilitate our staff strategic planning meeting.  Specific to our staff planning meeting, Andrea worked with me to develop an agenda that would result in a productive day for our team.  We all felt that we could participate in the discussion and provide our team the opportunity to identify priorities that would allow us to focus our work as our staff is stretched beyond our capacity and we are not poised to add staff at this time. Andrea helped guide our team in a way that was very productive helpful and fun. In fact, one staff person stated that this was one of the most productive retreats she’d ever been a part of.  We are still carrying out the work in areas that we identified needed more detail.  CORE has worked with Andrea three different times for strategic planning and I know we will utilize Andrea’s and the RFCCL expertise again. I highly recommend utilizing this fantastic resource that is available in the Roaring Fork Valley.”
