In their words
"Shiree is a delight to work with! She is skilled in helping leaders and organizations see themselves clearly (warts and all) while holding up a kind mirror. This makes change not only possible, but rewarding. She was instrumental in leading Rockwood's Nature Inspired Direction Setting process, which has given us the blueprint for three years of organizational change and growth, and unlike many "strategic plans," we use it regularly.
As a coach, Shiree is thorough, wise and kind. It is a pleasure to work with and be in partnership with her."
- Akaya Windwood, Former Executive Director / CEO, Rockwood Leadership Institute
"Shiree Teng is the sharpest, most brilliant and masterful learning and evaluation consultant I've ever worked with. She brings an inimitable mix of challenging inquiry and loving attentiveness in working with groups that allow us to do our best work. When I look to refresh my organization's theory of change, build a learning and evaluation system or simply get wise counsel on organizational development concerns, Shiree is the person I call."
- Rajasvini Bhansali,
Executive Director, Solidaire Network
"As an ED of 15 years, I've worked with many consultants. Shiree is hands down, one of the best. She is the first person I recommend for strategic planning, evaluation, coaching, and facilitation. She is results driven, innovative, and a joy to work with! Our organization has grown tremendously over the last 10 years and we need consultants who can address the complexities and challenges that arise. Shiree constantly pushes herself to learn and be more effective—there is nothing that I throw her way that she can’t handle. I can’t recommend her highly enough."
- Eveline Shen, Executive Director,
Forward Together
"…your deep commitment to the mission, your keen listening skills, your long experience in movement settings—a winning combination. Pro that you are, you make it look easy—what we see is grace and beauty, rather than the years of strength-building and practice behind the performance. Your heart is in the work, and it makes all the difference. Thank you."
- Sara Gould and Joyce Follet, Steinem Initiative, Smith College
