You’ve made me a better executive – and I see the impact you’ve made on my team.  Thank you!

In today's highly mobile workforce, fully functional management teams are a rare commodity.  Bringing management together into a common understanding needs to occur as quickly as possible if firm hold any hope of success.  To speed this process, it is imperative to apply catalytic stimulus to create a team vision and unity.

Enter Gaylyn Sher-Jan.  Ms. Sher-Jan was contracted by my firm to perform a Myers-Briggs executive management assessment and to help stimulate better management communications at all levels.  She accomplished that and more.   As the team worked through the process, Ms. Sher-Jan's real world business knowledge guided our assessment, our discussions, and ultimately our agreed upon vision. 

Ms. Sher-Jan professionalism is unsurpassed.  Her comments were very insightful, on target, and stimulated quality discussions amongst the team members.  Without hesitation, the best OD process I've personally attended. The speed at which Ms. Sher-Jan was able to conduct the assessment was also impressive.  My expectations (as established by over 10 years at Motorola, attending several such sessions) was that I should budget a week for this type of extensive session.  However, Ms. Sher-Jan was able to accomplish the entire assessment and team building exercises in less than 1/2 the time of previous sessions I have experienced.

I would strongly recommend Ms. Sher-Jan for any management assessment or team building session.  I know that our team greatly benefited!

I am extremely satisfied with OnCourse Group and particularly Gaylyn Sher-Jan.    There have been multiple projects where I have utilized Gaylyn with executive clients or in the development of executive programs at Tektronix and she has consistently provided solid business consulting and exceeds expectations. I have found Gaylyn to be trustworthy in overseeing intellectual property and able to establish credibility with senior managers quickly.  …I think Gaylyn is one of the best business consultants in the Portland-Seattle market…. Finally, Gaylyn is extraordinary in her approach as an inquiring consultant balanced with her ability to quickly come up to speed on the business problem that needs to be solved.

Gaylyn provided a clear roadmap for my success. Throughout the engagement, Gaylyn pulled from her own vast experiences, utilized well-respected tools/third party studies to help build the necessary "knowledge base" I would need to succeed in the workplace.  Working with Gaylyn one on one has resulted in a more efficient and effective working relationship with my employees and other levels of management, thereby enhancing my communication and leadership ability.

As Executive Director of the nonprofit organization Share I highly recommend the expertise of Ms. Gaylyn Sher-Jan.  With Gaylyn's guidance I have grown as an executive and manager.  She is able to succinctly identify the steps needed to improve and recommends ways to concretely get to the next level.  She has been wonderful as a person and coach.

Through work with my staff and me on complex change management and organizational design topics Gaylyn demonstrated an ability to start from theory, but then apply it in pragmatic ways in the real world. This approach, first grounded in business needs, then translated into authentic dialog considering business, technology, and social system factors results in effective solutions for real world business settings, not just theory.
