"Lynne's strengths are her facilitation skills because she has a keen ability to sense the group dynamics and deal with the here-and-now, where the group is at vs. a structured agenda that may not fit the group's needs. She is also excellent at establishing relationships with people - her experience and knowledge of team building, organization development, group dynamics, strategic planning, and good business sense helps her to establish credibility and trust with groups very quickly. She has an uncanny ability to challenge individuals and groups to look at themselves and learn how they can improve, in a very supportive way. People value her observation and coaching skills that they often ask her for specific feedback on their behavior.

Lynne truly believes in understanding people's needs first and customizing her design to respond to the client's needs. She also believes and strives for all voices to be heard, so her design and facilitation reflects this principle. She is very results oriented and facilitates a good balance between task and process."

"The home building business and the people that make it up are a tough crowd. Gaining their trust, creating meaningful discussions and getting them to open up are a challenge for even the most seasoned professional organizational management guru. Then there is Lynne Brown. Lynne has always done a masterful job to shepherd our teams through tough team building, team development and mission/vision exercises. Her skills always leave us proud of our accomplishments and excited about the direction that has become clearer as a result of her efforts.

One of her biggest contributions to our team building is her insight into team behavior assessment, strong facilitation skills and her "devil's advocate" point of view. As an objective listener, Lynne helps us make the implicit explicit. This has always proven of great value as the hard part of team building is getting the real issues to the surface. With Lynne, they boil to the top as though they were always meant to be there."

"Lynne has helped work with my teams several times, both in the U.S. and overseas. One of her best attributes is her enthusiasm and energy which helps to ensure that all the participants in her seminar/workshop remain engaged (or become engaged if they are reluctant to do so in the beginning). This energy has worked in both U.S. and international locations: a good testament of her ability to get people involved and still maintain cultural sensitivities. She is willing to challenge individuals to make commitments to change and does a great job in following up to make sure the agreed-upon changes occur."
