Client Testimonials

“The leadership training increased awareness of my natural talents but also the blind-spots those talents can cause. I believe in the strengths-based approach.”

– Burton Warrington, President, Indian Avenue Group

“Through Council House Institute, not only did I learn about my inherent leadership traits and how to develop them, but I also was able to gather new tools of application for developing others and giving voice to their interests.  I am confident that this community-based leadership will last well beyond our lifetime.”

– Carol McBryant, National Park Service, Cultural Interpretation and Tribal Tourism

“The Chairman of the Board and I went through the certification series together. We learned a great deal about leading and sustaining organizational change. It was a good investment for us!”

– Roy Totemoff, CEO, The Tatitlek Corporation
