What clients have written to us...

“I’ve been working in the prevention field for more than 30 years. I am continually impressed, and more often than not, simply amazed at the usefulness of the Collaborative Conversations approach in my day-to-day work. I wish I had discovered them sooner. Their tools provide a way to effectively approach the chaos of our world in systematic and compassionate ways.”

     ~ John B. Calbeck M.D., Director

    Southwest Kansas Regional Prevention Center

“Like many non-profit organizations, we're confronted by a host of complex issues: multiple stakeholders, a caring committed board, and ambitious agendas for the short meeting times available to us. Ken helped us to identify what was essential, challenged us with thought-provoking questions and kept our conversations focused and productive. We were fortunate to have his guidance in facilitating our board retreat.

“Ken facilitated our 2009 Board retreat in June and, thanks to wide acclaim from Board members, we invited him back to facilitate an Executive Committee retreat a few months later. 

Ken did an excellent job during both of these events. I was very impressed with how much time and energy he invested beforehand familiarizing himself with the goals and objectives of each retreat, as well as the group dynamics at work. He conducted a thoughtful follow up afterwards to be certain the key insights gained from these events were captured and their value retained going forward. 

I would warmly recommend Ken to anyone considering the use of his services.”

“My work is intensely collaborative and conversational. Ken’s clear explanations, grounded insights, and practice-based learning provided the tools (and the comfort in using them) to take my work to the next level. My conversations are more useful and productive now. Ken had a profound influence over my working methods.”

“Ken provided us wise and insightful guidance through a difficult journey of conversations. Our group had many barriers to becoming cohesive and productive - lack of trust, lack of clarity about our purpose and goals, as well as a lack of technical knowledge. He asked us key questions that went to the heart of our issues and helped us to craft effective agendas for addressing them. As a result, both our product development and our team are doing very well. - What more could I have asked for? Thank you, Ken."

   ~ Peggy Kelly – Director of Community Collaboration
    Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services

“Ken is among a growing number of audacious, talented and courageous voices in the "world dialogue community". He is audacious enough to believe that helping people find their own voices and share what matters most deeply to them can change the world. He is talented enough - meaning true expertise and vast experience - to be successful. And, courageous enough to dedicate his life to this work."
