Testimonials

On Coaching and Message Strategy Development:

"Working with Lynn has absolutely influenced our ability to improve support for early care and education. This year we saw passage of increased support for early childhood education and care programs in a legislature often divided on policy issues, and in a time when the administration has been very opposed to continuing funding, much less increasing it."

"My consultation with Davey Strategies has been extremely influential to how I frame my work. Business leaders and others have been more engaged in conversations about meaningful violence prevention strategies when I have followed the framing guidance provided by Davey Strategies."

"Lynn's reframing of how we talk about early childhood has engaged business leaders and policymakers to connect early childhood development to workforce development and the future of our state - literally. A specific example is that the Business & Industry Association included early childhood as a policy priority in their workforce development efforts after we made a presentation to them on the importance of early childhood, a presentation that Lynn developed for us.

From Workshop Participants:

"Definitely the best non-profit workshop I've been to. Most are very elementary, almost to a fault; this was challenging and informative. Lynn is excellent and accessible."

"My biggest takeaways from this workshop, which will change how I communicate! are 1) Tell an impact story, not a problem story; 2) Connect the dots between cause and consequence and solution; 3) Ask ourselves whether personal stories/examples might perpetuate stereotypes."

"The most valuable part of this workshop for me was EVERYTHING. Lynn is an engaging, excellent trainer."
