What Clients Are Saying

Dorrie T., Director of Communications

"Wendy Woolfork has been a game-changing leadership coach. She asks insightful, thought-provoking, and at times downright challenging questions that help me to engage in more mindful interactions. Her coaching to “lean into curiosity” is an effective approach for difficult conversations. With tensions or misunderstandings out of the way, it’s much easier to hear another’s perspective."

More Client Feedback

  • Wendy Woolfork is an exceptional leader in culture building and management development spaces. She has a powerful ability to center and meet people where they are at while simultaneously challenging them to intentionally move toward growth and change, with measurable results. The work itself is often fraught with fractured workplaces, ailing cultures and/or complicated work dynamics between co-workers and management, etc. – all of which can be very messy and distracting for a workplace, and a delicate task to unravel. These are the spaces in which Wendy thrives. She is a “seer” and approaches the most difficult of situations with a high level of emotional intelligence, discernment, and awareness of sociological impacts of workplace dynamics on people. It is easy to quickly develop trust with Wendy, who is deft at helping people at all levels of an organization to “see themselves.” She is extremely effective at identifying what is really going on in a workplace – good, bad, and in-between, and redirecting leadership (and staff) to (re)focus on the big picture. Wendy produces lasting results.

    Tonie D., Deputy Executive Director

  • "Part of what sets Wendy apart is her ability to dive deeply into an organization, diagnose where it has opportunities to improve, and provide a full suite of services to best take advantage of those opportunities. Wendy’s consultancy is an incredible one-stop shop, with her depth and breadth of knowledge and wisdom to back it up. And Wendy never loses focus of the people who make up every organization. Indeed, part of Wendy’s expertise is that she infuses everything she does with a sense of compassion and kindness, which truly makes her unique."

    Joshua W, President and Executive Director

  • Wendy Woolfork is an outstanding partner for organizations serious about establishing a strong equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging culture. Wendy first worked with our organization several years prior to my tenure. Her honest and insightful assessment helped me to navigate the organization with care when I came aboard as a newly hired executive. A year later, I welcomed the opportunity to work directly with Wendy and invited her to collaborate with our organization a second time. Wendy evaluated our progress on our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts; assessed how our systems and protocols affected our culture; and guided our team in building a DEI strategic plan to improve our culture of equity, inclusion and belonging. Wendy didn’t stop there. She continued to work with our team to ensure that every level was involved in the development, buy-in, and implementation of action plans. We’ve seen a significant improvement in our work culture, including an increase in retention, effective inclusion in decision-making, and a much more positive atmosphere. I am grateful for Wendy’s support and expertise.
