"I have been involved with two large projects in very different settings that Terri Phillips with SJD Consulting helped lead. In both cases Terri stood out as not only a skilled facilitator but she also genuinely sought to gain a deeper understanding of the work as part of her obvious commitment to life-long learning and to provide the best value for the team involved. These efforts involved a wide range of topics related to culture, product branding, rapid cycle time-sensitive decisions and emotional intelligence. I would highly recommend Terri and know that any project she is involved with has been set up for success."
