His personable demeanor and quick study provide him the unusual ability to quickly grasp situations both complex in nature, emotional, sensitive, and spiritual. My initial introduction to Charles was as a coach and mentor for me and the associates that comprised the senior executive team of a mid market company. His support and guidance allowed each of us to become more self-aware and contribute towards improving our company's culture. He was able to take calcified individuals, and through honest feedback, help them understand and deal with not only the need for change, also the benefit derived from a collaboration environment. Charles has the demonstrated ability to guide individuals and groups through the process of creating an environment of inclusion. This is all about creating an advantage through economic and spiritual investment which rewards participants with results and personal satisfaction.

I want to thank you for the magnificent job you have done as a consultant and facilitator in the process of organizational change we have undergone in the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) during the past year. Your insight, ability to quickly identify core organizational ills, sound management advice and training expertise were instrumental in building a sustainable process of meaningful change in DMF.... ...I want to thank you, as well, for your flexibility and willingness to alter your business schedule around the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" which often seemed to befall the DMF during a very challenging period of our history. I hope it is some consolidation to know you helped achieve what others thought unachievable, building DMF into a genuinely good agency. Finally, I'd like to offer my personal gratitude for helping me to maintain a healthy perspective of the situation and my sense of humor at times when my patience and determination were tested to their limits.
