She guided us through committee redesign, board education, self-assessments, retreat facilitation, and governance improvement initiatives that have had a lasting impact.\n\nOur board is more focused, more strategic, and better equipped to guide the future of our organization because of her work. If you want a consultant who simply delivers a report, Kara is not the right choice. \n\nIf you want someone who rolls up her sleeves, builds trust, educates the board, facilitates difficult conversations, and helps create meaningful change, she is great.\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Siri Nelson<\/span><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__title\">President & CEO, Marshall<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"I reached out to Kara for a quick conversation about my board and our retreat and came away with some great ideas on how to present information and have better discussion.
