““I very much appreciate the issues, conversations
and considerations that were surfaced as a result
of our strategic planning retreat. Were it not for
Spitzberg Advisors, such issues would not have
been brought to life, nor would there have been
an impetus for change - or perhaps even a
conversation around such issues. Ed’s patience,
guidance and expertise were beyond welcome."”
“In all respects, Ed did an outstanding job. He is
well organized, responsive and gets things done.
He is an excellent listener and this enables him to
grasp the client’s needs, ask good questions and
respond accordingly. Most importantly, Ed is a
man of high integrity and excellent judgment.
It has been a great pleasure to work with him.””
““Soundboarding offered an extremely tailored
and unique opportunity for me to share out loud
my raw and often unformulated thoughts, and to
get informed and authentic reactions + feedback.
There are many circumstances surrounding an
executive’s responsibilities that require a safe and
trusted source to just think + navigate out loud.
Ed, for me, is that trusted source.””
““Ed is a clear, strategic thinker who possesses the
emotional intellect and kindhearted nature
required of a great leader. It has been an honor to
work alongside Ed, and I would relish the
opportunity to do so again in the future.””
““Ed provided invaluable feedback, kept the youth
we serve and our staff continuity as his priority,
and gave everyone on the Board the trust that we
were in good hands. I personally learned a lot from
Ed in our meetings and the manner in which he
carried himself.””
““In our retreat, I saw evidence of ‘knowing us’ and
‘understanding us.’ [Spitzberg Advisors] used a
well-paced agenda and an effective use of small
groups.””
““Our retreat was very well organized. Ed gave
space for everyone to brainstorm and voice their
opinions, while helping to shape focus around
particular topics for growth.””
