"My team and I worked with Noreen to design a half day team building retreat recently. Our goals were to strengthen our team dynamic, assimilate new members to the team, reach consensus about one team member's most optimal projects and get to know one another better personally. Noreen met the team and sent out surveys in advance to make sure the retreat was designed based on what we needed and wanted to accomplish.
We played a game of team Jeopardy (from our survey responses), which was a fun way to start the day and learn about one another's personalities. She uses collaborative processes and large-scale graphics to reinforce learning and to engage everyone. We also used Visual Explorer large scale images to discuss what is happening when we are performing at our best and to learn how to better use everyone's talents back at work. The morning flew by and we had a great time. Many people on my team commented that Noreen seemed to "get us", was well organized and made the time well spent. As team leader, I was free to enjoy the morning because I knew I was in capable hands. I recommend working with Noreen. I will also be having Noreen return at the end of the summer to do some follow up work with my Team." Elizabeth Fetter-DiArcangelo, M.S, Community Connections Administrator Montgomery County |
"I would describe Noreen as a coach, a partner, and a strategist. She is one of the most competent coaches I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She coached me through some very stressful times when change was constant, and there was tremendous pressure to modernize my organization's systems. I appreciated her approach to these challenges and her communication style in general. She gave suggestions. She provided a playbook based on experience. She did not waver in her commitment to helping me be successful which is essential for a change agent.
A reliable partner is someone who can help you see things for what they are and give you an objective opinion on how and when to change. As my organization struggled with rapid growth amidst rapidly increasing regulations, her partnership was critical. She understood my business and took the time to understand the struggles we were facing. She provided a mirror to help me see things as they were and adjust accordingly. Invaluable to have a partner like her in your organization.
Lastly, she is a capable strategist who can coach you through the current state, partner with you through the future state, and help you develop your roadmap beyond. She does not dump strategy in your lap; she leads you to where you need to be to develop a sound your strategy.
My descriptions of her abilities are why I would recommend Noreen for any position in any organization of any size. She will bring immediate, measurable, and lasting value to an organization and its employees. Anyone looking for more depth can reach out to me directly."

"Highly effective is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Noreen. As a OD consultant with RHD, Noreen helped our teams with organizational effectiveness, strategic goal planning, leadership development and 1:1 coaching. I was impressed by her professionalism, subject matter knowledge and communication skills with several leadership teams. I valued her ability to juggle multiple projects and command a room in a group of other L&OD experts. She inspired me to continue pursuing L&OD opportunities and returning to school to increase my L& OD knowledge. Noreen would be an asset to any team!"

"Karen and Noreen designed and facilitated our Board retreat with our desired outcome to re-engage our board members. Our board is a very diverse group and given that we spend a small amount of time together it was important for us to walk away with a clear plan with specific objectives and champions for each goal. We got it all done and Karen and Noreen received high praise from the group for their ability to keep us on track and make sure everyone was heard. We look forward to working together again in the future."

"Noreen is a generous collaborator who brings energy, objectivity and deep experience as a graphic recorder and facilitator. Recently Noreen and I collaborated to design and deliver strategic visioning and design thinking workshops that I facilitated and Noreen provided exceptional graphic recording. Her ability to actively listen and record themes proved invaluable in capturing the collective intelligence and insights from more than 15 participants including senior executives and knowledge workers. A beautiful and impactful visual recording of these dynamic work sessions was distributed to participants immediately following the workshop, which increased engagement for the program and led to the development of an integrated action plan across business functions.
Noreen is an avid learner who is adaptable and professional. Also, she is a trustworthy confidant that I could rely on with not a second of hesitation. I look forward to working with her again!" Vincent Matyi, Senior User Experience Consultant ZS Management Consulting |
"Measuring Bravo!’s corporate culture was vital. We used the information to replicate what was driving our success and to overcome the obstacles in our path. Noreen and Karen facilitated various planning and team building workshops. During one of our retreats we collectively told the Bravo! story, while our leaders and managers graphically mapped our 13-year history. Then we stood back to take in the enormity of what we have accomplished together. This experience was a powerful reminder of how strong we are as a team. We are often so busy there is little time for reflection, so reminiscing about the milestones we crossed and the lessons we learned was time very well spent.
Each workshop helps us maintain a clear focus and recognize how each of us has a hand in growing our company. We are looking forward to another inventory of our culture, including our most recent acquisition, to leverage our unique culture, our talented team and our business plan." Karen J. Martinez-Wardzinski, Founder, CEO BRAVO! Group Services, LLC |

"Turning Point of Lehigh Valley finished a 3-year strategic plan in June 2011. We needed to create buy-in and make it actionable and measurable. With a new executive director in place, a revitalized program, and in need of current stakeholder feedback, we chose The Corporate Greenhouse to help us strategize for the coming year. The process was outstanding. Karen and Noreen helped us design a visual planning process that fit our needs for the transformation we envision for the agency. Surveys of stakeholders, input from staff and the Board of Directors, one-on-one meetings with leadership, and two collaborative strategic planning sessions resulted in a clear, workable, action plan for the year, with a timeline and individual accountabilities for measuring success. We found the objective team facilitation between Karen and Noreen was invaluable in strategizing, focusing and articulating where we want and need to be as we move forward."
