“Enlightening and engaging – creating a powerful, shared platform to reflect on next steps in building social innovation and impact through our work and integrating measurement and evaluation into virtually all our thinking.” — Lisa McKeen – Easter Seals Canada (Former VP)

“Openly describes how Lisa, Tanya and Randal approach their work perfectly. They never lose site of the bigger picture and have true commitment to authentic and meaningful change. Their keen insights, supportive coaching and visual representations of our work have all been instrumental in helping us to both deepen our impact at the East Scarborough Storefront and broaden our impact through the creation of the Centre for Connected Communities.  I feel like we’re on this journey together…and there are possibilities before us.” — Anne Gloger – East Scarborough Storefront / Centre for Connected Communities

“The thing we value most about working with Tanya and Lisa is their ability to synthesize. They can take a muddy collection of half-formed concepts and quickly crystallize them into a clear, solid direction you can act on, that completely aligns with your values and intent. They are professional yet fun; deeply experienced yet never didactic; respectful yet willing to push the hard questions. We see them as a key and ongoing partner in our growth and development.” — Laura Manning – Lyle S. Hallman Foundation

“Working with both of you has been a pleasure. You have walked us, with clarity and purpose, through the challenging and often conflicting task of learning the impact of our work. Working with the team and grantees to design a learning strategy has been a major development in our ability to engage meaningfully with our grantees and partners.” — Jehad Y. Aliweiwi – Executive Director, Laidlaw Foundation

“Lisa Watson expertly provided both the conceptual framework and practical application of network theory, guiding the leaders in our program to explore new aspects of professional and personal networks, understand the power of strong networks  and leave the room inspired to become network weavers themselves.” — Russell Willis Taylor – Founder, Cultural Leadership Program, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity
