Testimonials Regarding Impacts of Rae’s Support + Guidance

"Thank you Rae D’Umay!

A 2 hour working session on a Friday afternoon… deep work.

Expert OD and Facilitation critic and feed forward, mapping practice to theory to practice, facilitation design, delivery modality, strategic inputs grounded in DEI/A aligned to the organization’s strategy, intentional, strength based, and human centered…future of work.

This thought provoking, action oriented session gave me energy and was exhausting all at the same time… I loved it!"

“Rae and I recently worked together on a project where I needed some visual graphics to use in a workshop. We spent some time on the phone where I described my problem statement, my vision and my intended outcomes for the workshop activity (it is quite complicated) and when I paused Rae reflected back to me what she heard I wanted in a clear and concise summary.

I was thrilled that Rae made it appear easy - to do that business problem translation - and she had some ideas quickly forming in how to do the visual graphics. I found Rae easy to work with, she had lots of ideas on the approach and the style and within 5 days she had produced an excellent piece of work.

Well done Rae!”

“Off the cuff I can say one of your strengths is helping other people reach their potential. 

 You really helped me gain the confidence I needed to feel comfortable teaching the classes.  You encouraged (made me?) teach the class before I thought I was ready, but in hindsight I can see that I probably never would have 'felt' ready.  And having done it, it helped to see what I needed to work on to be better at it.  Thanks for that!”

“I would have to say the single best word to sum up Rae is creativity. When you look at the definition for the word: “the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships;to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations; Originality, progressiveness, or imagination. The need for creativity in modern industry.”

You see Rae -Her ability to think on the fly and come up with out of the box solutions- is amazing. She does not settle for “that is the way we have always done it”, but looks for the best way to solve the problem. It was always a pleasure to see her mind follow then pivot to new heights - things I would never have thought of.

In order to be a good facilitator one only needs to be able to follow the plan and make sure participants have heard. To be a great facilitator one must make content come to life. To be a master facilitator, the participants gain clarity; understand the principles so well that they apply them in novel ways; and they influence others in adopting these novel approaches.

Rae's creativity and guiding magic allows this to happen on a continual basis.”
