Laura, your facilitation helped our strategic planning meeting to be organic, allowing the true
energy and direction of our group to emerge.  You helped us focus on attainable objectives,
resulting in tangible action items for our group.

I can recommend Laura Piening without reservation.  Laura worked with us to develop systems for
tracking every phase of publications development and to evaluate potential strategies for
overcoming obstacles and realizing our goals.  In sum, Laura’s skills as an organizer, a mediator,
and a communicator served our program well.
William Hackman, J. Paul Getty Trust


The planning process you organized and facilitated was fantastic.  Our president and I are still
enjoying the success – the satisfaction of learning a lot in a very short time in a very well
organized process.
-- Cheryl Laymon, Samuel Dixon Family Health Center


I think it is amazing the kind of magic you work!

Laura, you were wonderful!  Your remarks triggered a lively brainstorming session that initially
took us in many directions but eventually centered on a few important issues.  Thank you for your
valuable insights.

Thank you for the advice and training that you have provided to our special projects program.  You

Once again, Laura, thanks for a great job!  Your kindness, professionalism and ability to create
order out of absolute chaos never failed to amaze us.

Thank you for all you’ve done.  You have set the bar very high…you coordinated all of us into an
entity that could access knowledge and information at any time.

The consulting that you provided for my office and subsequently for my three section heads and
their staff have made an immense difference to the operation of my program in the past several
months.  I particularly appreciated your tailored approach and commitment to developing solutions
that were workable for all concerned.
-- Janet Bridgland, Getty Conservation Institute


Laura, no matter where I go, I hear very positive comments about the order you have brought
into a number of our departments.  I only wish that all of our consultants gave so much value for
the fees charged.
