Testimonials

"Your presentation and hands-on approach to the topic of Employee Recognition was well received by attending staff and has already served to promote a noticeable conscious effort to engage these practices in daily interactions."

Dee,
I wanted to let you know that my presentation to the Humboldt County
Association of Governments Technical Advisory Committee went well
yesterday. I prepared an agenda (or discussion outline) that seemed to meet the
committees needs and in brief covered what I spoke about.
Our preparation of the Stakeholder Communication Plan did allow me to be
more prepared for the meeting and the discussion topics.
Thank you for your teaching and facilitation of the class.
The material covered already has been and will be useful to me in the
future in all lines of work I do.

Derek Willis, PE, PMP, Caltrans Project Manager

"Dee added valuable contributions above my expectations in the way of sharing examples of successful programs, articles, benchmarking, helping me make better decisions. She was an extremely valuable asset to the project."

" I selected Dee Hansford as a distinguished faculty member for the UC Davis Executive Program because of her extensive background in communication and recognition. She did not disappoint us. Her past experiences in management at the Walt Disney Company allowed her to relate to the challenges facing participants and to provide down to earth strategies and solutions. She fully engaged the group in deep and meaningful discussion about the role of the leader as communicator and recognizer. Not surprisingly she received the highest rating of any presenter during the entire nine month program."

Gene Crumley, Director of Business Programs, UC Davis

“You are phenomenal!! Yesterday's workshop was EXACTLY what they needed to hear. . . I swear I heard light bulbs popping on in some of their little heads! We're going to follow up with everyone in the next week or so to reinforce some of the fresh ideas they have, offer assistance, encouragement, etc. and give them the lists they made out demonstrating what life is like "with" and "without" recognition.”
