Testimonials

Perhaps more important than what we say about ourselves is what others say about us.

Dean Stamoulis, Russell Reynolds
"I have worked in projects with many coaches, and I have never seen such substantive changes and improvements in a coaching program as I saw with The Dede Henley Group and Puget Sound Energy."

Jon Vogen, Global Organizational Development Manager, Intel
"Enriching and enlightening…The underlying leadership model is holistic and allowed for depth of introspection. It provided the right information to determine practical steps for change, and helped me explore the ways I have prevented myself from leading from my core strengths and against my goals and vision. It was a very beneficial experience for me personally and I believe for those around me as I have shifted my perspective and my actions."

Bob Elton, CEO, BC Hydro
"You have helped me immeasurably. You did the obvious thing superbly - listening, pushing back when you needed to, helping me to develop aspirational goals, ensuring that I focused on a few things and helping to shape my executive team."

Dr. Sue Secker, Provost, Seattle University
"Your incredibly insightful and gentle way of helping me unlock my potential, tap back into what I most care about, and open up to dreams and think big…all of this is pure gift."

Connie Mander, Manager, Puget Sound Energy
"In my recent performance review, I was rated at the 'Role Model' level for managerial courage. I attribute this success to the confidence to be authentic and face conflict head on that I now possess as a result of the work that we did in The Dede Henley Group's "Power of Collaboration" program. It is reassuring to see the benefit of this leadership program playing out in our professional and personal lives."

Cassie Cone, Director, DaVita
"Several of the many results I was able to produce as a result of my coaching include: the development of a vision statement for my team that encompasses retention and new activities. As a team, we executed an important meeting that fostered collaboration of teammates by division, rather than role. Best of all, I created capacity and empowered direct reports. "

Michelle Buswinka, General Manager, Operations Services, Microsoft
"The best part of the workshop with The Dede Henley Group was the opportunity to meet, listen to, and be inspired by some truly terrific women leaders."

Kelli Kahout, VP, Dorsey Law
"I've heard nothing but good things about the session for our top 50 women partners. It was a great success. I'm looking for the next opportunity to invite you back to Dorsey to continue leadership development."

Sally Jewell, CEO, REI
"The Dede Henley Group did a great job of delivering a team retreat for the REI executive team. They come highly recommended by REI’s head of HR who has worked with them for years."

Doug Vichek, Chief Wisdom Officer, DaVita
"I toast you for another incredible effort and more than incredible result. Proud to be your partner."

Grace Pulver, Vancity Credit Union
"The leadership program we engaged in with The Dede Henley Group took our team to a new place. We are very blessed to have this group who do such great work with us."

Anna, 11 years old
"Rising Stars was great, spectacular, really fun. Shanon is funny and witty. She’s young enough to have fun with us, and old enough to keep us in line." Her mom adds, "She really enjoyed the program, and learned about herself and the other girls. She doesn’t often use the word ‘spectacular.’"
