Testimonials

Here’s what our clients and colleagues have to say:

I had the privilege of working closely with Chrissy while at California Closets Corporate. During that time Chrissy demonstrated a great balance of business discipline and organizational savvy, with a very fair, caring management style as Director of Human Resources. She had a strong ability to lead/navigate seamlessly through a very challenging business with much change, all the while remaining cool under pressure. She independently volunteered/led the organization in their first progression into ‘green thinking’, by establishing a corporate ‘green’ philosophy/culture, and leading outside consultant sessions to define the company’s long term sustainability strategies. She is a positive, committed and hard-working leader.

I've had the fortunate pleasure of working with Wendy across two organizations. In each capacity, Wendy exhibited an authenticity that is rarely shown in upper leadership. This was reflective in her teams, where there was excitement to work together. Her work ethic supports a professional and personal bond that supports getting things done. Wendy knows how to cultivate and exude an environment of solidarity towards a common goal and activate each team members' own motivation to contribute. Where ever Wendy is in service to a greater cause, you can be sure to know that any an all those around her will feel the desire to rise to the task with her.

I hired Chrissy as an HR Consultant when I was the Head of School at the Willow Creek Charter School in Sausalito, CA from July, 2019- July 2021. She is a phenomenal HR Consultant and thought partner. I relied heavily on her advice and counsel in all areas of HR and found her to be a creative, passionate and inclusive leader. We worked side-by-side as we navigated through unchartered COVID territory. She helped me keep our students and employees safe, while providing exceptional instruction and open communications throughout. She provided outstanding HR programs and services, while maintaining a sense of humor and an infectious smile for everyone she supported.
