TESTIMONIALS

“You should know how spectacularly effective Paula Hansen was at the Rancho Cordova retreat with the Mayor, City Council, Planning Commission, City Manager and key staff.

 

Her graphics relentlessly followed the core content thread of the dialogue, added a strongly aesthetic coherence to the retreat, and helped the people follow and stay engaged in the process.

 

Her work both as a graphic recorder and as a presence at the retreat added value in great measure. I am grateful for having had her as a partner in this project and look forward to opportunities to work with her again.”

“It was amazing to see the energy and enthusiasm generated in the room as the group participants could actually see their ideas take on life through the graphic recording. It definitely added to and enhanced the dynamics of the planning sessions.”

“I found Paula’s skills in capturing key messages and themes to be exceptional in detail and creativity. Paula’s style of recording is accurate and expressive, as well as containing an occasional welcome element of humor. The charts Paula created during the Senior Manager Academy have served as opportunities for reflection, insight and reference. Everyone who has worked with Paula at Grant Thornton has found her flexible, committed and enthusiastic, and we look forward to working with her again.

“Paula’s representations of the multi-faceted and often emotionally charged conversations during my workshop revealed her own capacity to listen deeply and capture the spirit of a message in image or symbol. Participants not only felt heard but also saw how their contribution fit into the whole. What has been a collection of individual insights and stories became a unified group image and compelling reminder of the collective experience.”

“When it was first suggested that I use a graphic recorder when facilitating these groups of business leaders, I was skeptical. However, Paula has a unique ability to follow the discussion and capture the group’s sentiments concisely and accurately. This alone has been tremendously valuable in these meetings, but her ability to also produce interesting and engaging images to reflect the group ideas was truly impressive. I am now convinced of the value of graphic recording and use Paula at every opportunity.”
