Testimonials
“I have worked with Travis Green on numerous projects in varied settings. In addition to deep content knowledge, both of sustainability and of consulting, Travis has the unique ability to help groups move through difficult moments/periods/challenges. He does this not by telling them what they should do, but by helping group members tap into their own knowledge of what they need to do.”
~Elise Lufkin, Senior Program Officer, Calvert Foundation
“For our Climate Action Labs, we wanted to design a community process that was inclusive, informative, and empowering. Not easy, when dealing with contentious issues! Travis brought a deep well of knowledge, practical skill, and good humor in helping us make the Labs really work.”
~Phil Mitchell, Director, Greater Seattle Climate Dialogues
“Travis is a capable, collaborative and thoughtful professional who produces superior work. I have had the privilege of working with Travis on numerous projects and appreciate the added value that he consistently brings to the team. Travis has a calming presence that puts other at ease and makes him extremely easy to work with. He is flexible and open in his work, yet brings added focus and direction as needed to move the group along toward its objectives. Travis is a pleasure to work with, a skilled OD Consultant who will benefit any organization he works with!”
~Jenni Clark, PeopleFirm
“DiscNW hired Travis to act as the facilitator for our board retreat and his work was key to our successful outcome. He listened to our needs and proposed creative ideas for structuring the event. During the meeting, he worked hard to keep the group on track and focused on achieving our goals. We likely would not have had the same results without his creativity and professionalism. I would gladly work with Travis again.”
~Mike DiGioia, President, DiscNW Board of Director
“I hired Travis to facilitate a public meeting that was new for our organization. Our organization wanted to engage a broad sample of the community in a discussion about dementia and how the community could prepare for the increasing number of people who will be diagnosed with the disease in the next decade. We did not want to drive the discussion in any particular direction nor take ownership of everything that might be come up. Travis convinced me that doing an “open space” facilitation would be very appropriate. Since I had not been involved in “open space” I had some anxiety about it. I was afraid it would spin out of control. I was wrong. Travis did a skillful job of getting everyone engaged and the meeting was ranked very highly by participants. I would certainly hire Travis again and can recommend him to other organizations with strong support.”
~Nancy Dapper, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Association
“As the Executive Director of a 40-year-old small non-profit agency, we had the opportunity to work with many contractors over the years. Our organization was going through a tremendous change at the senior Board and staff level, and we needed an objective, and calm guide to help us weather the transition. Travis Green assessed our committee roles, responsibilities, purpose and strengths through a series of interviews, facilitated retreats and summary reports. Our objectives and expectations were clearly outlined, but he also remained flexible and responsive to the dynamic, natural momentum of the project at hand. Our Development Committee benefited most, and Travis integrated valuable, up-to date tools regarding decision making models and outcomes oriented documents best suited to our needs. Any discussion about fundraising is a challenge, as the work requires a clear committee structure and adherence to procedures. While we met all of our goals and objectives, we also built a stronger foundation of investment in the interdependent relationships between our community and ourselves.”
~Traci Russell, Executive Director, Youth Advocates
“Travis sought to understand our needs prior to the conference and tailored his presentation to meet and exceed our planning committee’s expectations. He also demonstrated flexibility and intuition in adjusting to the audience’s response to his material. Travis’s content was thoughtful and thought provoking and extraordinarily valuable to attendees. The event evaluations were filled with positive feedback and accolades for Travis’s contributions. His engaging presentation and facilitation style would make him a great choice for conference keynotes, breakouts & workshops, as well as 1-on-1 coaching and smaller scale board development workshops.”
~Emily McGrath, Director of Professional Development, Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS)
“I highly recommend Travis (and TGreen Consulting) for his skillful facilitation of meetings and ability to bring people and their ideas together for strategic planning and community building. He is personable, attentive, organized and a solid professional. Travis helped to make my two meetings a success and overall my job easier. I’m very pleased with the results and so is my employer.”
~Patricia Hunter, Director Programs and Policy, Alzheimer’s Association
“We first met Travis when he interviewed Newground several years ago as part of a graduate degree program. Since then, he’s become a reliable, fun, and very thoughtful fixture on the Seattle sustainability scene. I feel his skills, intention, and insight could help nearly any person, group, or company hone their focus and improve their game — and you’ll have fun and feel inspired along the way!”
~Bruce Herbert, President, Newground Social Investment
“As a consultant, I’m very picky about who I introduce to my clients. When I needed some help for a team development project, Travis was the first person I thought of. Travis is knowledgeable, upbeat, and a great facilitator. He contributed a lot to the project, and the client was delighted with his involvement. I highly recommend Travis for OD consulting, training, and any projects where you need to tap into the wisdom of a group.”
~Cheri Baker, President, Emergence Consulting
