State Agency Director
“Donald doesn’t tell me what I want to hear; he gives honest feedback and observations. Nor does he tell us what to do. Instead he asks lots of questions and creates an environment where our team is solving the problems and developing their skills as leaders. This has helped our people grow faster than they would have otherwise, and at the same time helped move our strategic agenda forward.”
