Client’s Testimonial
Real insights from organizations we’ve supported in navigating change and leading with purpose.
As a first-time CEO assuming my role towards the end of last year, I was immediately confronted with the formidable task of leading through a period of profound disruption and organizational upheaval that included navigating significant shifts in the global health funding and implementation landscape. Over the course of the year, Tom and Lynne partnered closely with me and my team, providing strategic executive advising and expert facilitation of executive team development. A pivotal moment in our work together was a two-day retreat they led, which proved truly transformational. Through their guidance, our executive team evolved into a cohesive, high-performing leadership group—aligned in purpose and operating as a true ‘first team’ that has led with clarity and resolve through uncertainty. Tom and Lynne’s support was a consistent source of insight and confidence as I stepped into new leadership responsibilities. I am deeply appreciative of their partnership and would strongly recommend them to any leader navigating complex transitions or organizational change.
Working with Tom Dente has been a transformative experience for BRAC USA’s Board and leadership team. Tom brought exceptional insight, structure, and strategic clarity to our board governance engagement, helping us align around a refreshed, shared vision for the future. His ability to surface key issues, foster collaboration, and guide us in developing a clear Board Development Roadmap has set us on a path toward greater effectiveness and impact. We have been able to make significant advances, attract excellent Directors, focus our efforts and mobilize board contributions--and in record time having such a strong roadmap. I am deeply grateful for his contributions and would highly recommend Tom to any organization seeking to elevate its board governance and leadership alignment.
I appreciated the approach that Lynne and Tom of Lynne Gilliland Consulting took in our work together. They started by helping me clarify the strategic intent of my organization and then based on that intent, helped me to identify strategic options for our future. Each option can be assessed and considered separately and in combination – offering me a view of multiple possible pathways. This was especially helpful during a time of great uncertainty in the sector when my priority was to keep all our smart options open.
Working with Tom Dente during our Board Retreat was a transformative experience for SOS Children’s Villages USA.
Tom’s deep expertise and diplomatic facilitation guided us through an in-depth review of the key trends shaping our environment and helped us thoughtfully consider their implications for our organization’s long-term impact. He skillfully led the board in reviewing our current strategy, helping us identify and prioritize the factors that could accelerate or delay our progress. Tom also ensured we addressed open issues for further exploration, setting the stage for our board to continue these important conversations in the months ahead—especially as we navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain landscape.
Thanks to Tom, our board left the retreat more aligned, focused, and prepared to lead SOS Children’s Villages USA into the future.
