“Nancy’s insights have proved invaluable to me. She addresses issues on a macro and micro level and has the impressive ability to work with my staff, gain their confidence, and achieve buy-in on suggestions (and participate in the formulation of those suggestions). Nancy is intelligent and tough-minded. But she is also a compassionate humanist who understands human psychology on a profound level. She is a delight to work with and I give her the highest recommendation possible as a business consultant.”
