“I have been working with the CoInnovate team for the past seven years to bring adaptive leadership programs to our foundation’s grantees, to support a community based leadership program for nonprofits in Harlem and to support an expanding set of initiatives at NYU. Their engaging approach, openness, patience and real care for trainees have consistently earned them rave reviews from all who have participated. I cannot recommend their work more highly.”
Caroline Williamson, Executive Director, The B. Robert Williamson Jr. Foundation
“Working with Jamie and Marc has been a true growth experience for me both personally and professionally. They are adept at bringing the group to a point of creative tension to illustrate the key principles of adaptive leadership, a transformational framework for the evolution of your organization. I am eager to apply my learning and shift my practices to serve my organization and all of its stakeholders.”
Alicia McGrath, Executive Vice President, Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey
“I consider myself to be a student of public speaking. I have been to many trainings but Public Narrative was an eye opening experience for me that will shape the way I think about storytelling from now on. Sandy is masterful not only in the delivery of solid content but also her ability to provide real-time feedback to each participant.”
Brian Olds, Founder & CEO, Black Speakers Network
“Jamie and Marc were fantastic to work with. We asked them to design a leadership program that everyone, from all levels of our company, would find valuable. They worked with us to design something tailored to our specific needs and company culture. Today we still use the framework we learned to sort through difficult challenges together."
Chris Boyce, Co-Founder & Executive Producer, Pacific Content
"I've worked with Marc over the past three years on a variety of in-person and online leadership training and coaching efforts geared at strengthening the health of underserved communities. These are complex programmatic endeavors that must carefully integrate the interests of different organizing stakeholders and meet the learning needs of diverse audiences. Marc rises to these challenges with creativity, flexibility, and a heartfelt delivery style, always putting the benefits of our participants at the forefront. He's my go to adaptive leadership educator!"
Juliane Tomlin, Senior Manager, Practice Transformation, Center for Care Innovations
"The two-day Public Narrative with Sandy helped structure my TED talk and connect my story with authenticity. Sharing my stories and presenting my projects in public used to be an anxiety-filled and disempowering experience. However, with the understanding of Public Narrative, I now know how to dig deep down and be empowered by my own story."
Kotchakorn Voraakhom, CEO & Founder, Porous City Network
“Jamie and Marc offer a wonderful program and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity! Adaptive Leadership teaches managers to think in complex and thoughtful ways and to address the unique challenges present in today's workforce with finesse not force. These ideas can be applied to any tough issues to get results and find a blueprint for success.”
Tina Schleicher-Lannotti, LMFT, Director of Evidenced Based Services, The Children's Village
“As a frequent speaker at multiple events, I have to customize my content for each audience. Thanks to Sandy’s course, I developed my storytelling skills greatly and was able to engage with my audience!”
