Testimonials
"Management, staff and board members love working with Claudia. She is very easy to work with and she pours her intellect, heart, and soul into her work. The results are consistent: you will get a highly effective process and extremely productive outcomes."
Ivan Espinoza Madrigal, Executive Director
Lawyers for Civil Rights
"Claudia is our go-to when we need clarity and consensus. She works with us to develop the right process for exploring important issues, she facilitates challenging discussions, and she ensures we walk away with direction and purpose. On top of that, we really enjoy our time with Claudia."
Colin Van Dyke
Managing Partner, Anderson Kreiger LLP
"I saw Claudia deftly combine structure (a well thought out agenda) with presence and human connection to be able to adapt as necessary as the conversation flowed. In my experience, few consultants are able to combine both things: structure and the kind of presence, deep listening and human connection to be able to steer a group in a way that allows the group to achieve desired outcomes for the meeting as well as have their voices and needs met."
Maria Elena Letona
Former Executive Director Neighbor to Neighbor-MA
"Justice At Work hired Claudia Lach to gather information from key stakeholders and facilitate a board retreat aimed at defining our mission, vision and theory of change. Through her outstanding outreach and interviews with grassroots organizations, she provided us with critical information and insights into how we can be more effective, and now, thanks, to a very well facilitated retreat, we have come to consensus on Justice At Work’s foundational language."
Thomas Smith
Executive Director, Justice at Work
"Claudia Lach provides thoughtful, expert guidance for her clients. She tailors her services to the client and or project at hand. Using the metaphor of ships at sea, she can be the light house, the ship's pilot when entering and leaving port, and she can guide the ship's captain and crew to be better at their various jobs."
Kathy Lobo
Board President, Matsol
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Claudia. She quickly understood the culture of our law firm and the topics we wanted to address and then worked with us to clearly define a scope of work and project budget. Her ability to pose insightful questions, probe issues and keep us moving forward in our thinking was incredibly helpful. We left the retreat she facilitated feeling good about the state of the firm and aware of concrete steps we can take to improve.”
Bret Hendrickson, Partner
Nolan, Sheehan, Patton
"Claudia’s facilitation style was very interactive. She framed the issues and then got us involved in very concrete activities and discussion to bring the concepts alive. Since the audience was diverse in its cultural and educational background, this ability to translate theory into practice was particularly important."
Kathy Lenox
Chair of the Board, South Sudanese Family Enrichment
"Claudia is a fantastic person to work with. She worked with our organization to help us develop our internal values and we are very pleased with the results. She is an excellent facilitator and really helped us stay focused on our objectives."
Melissa Cassarino
Director of Human Resources at The Greater Boston Food Bank
"I'm so thankful that Claudia facilitated our meetings. She was able to keep the transition committee on track and to focus on important issues. Claudia helped the committee develop a profile of the best possible ED candidate for the organization. Had it not been for Claudia's guidance and support throughout the process, I believe we would not have hired our current ED, who we now know was the best candidate for the position."
Cheryl Stafford
Former Board Chair and Chair of Transition Committee Coalition for a Better Acre
"The team of YES staff, volunteers, and community members was challenged by Claudia from the beginning. She knew how to provoke them and get them thinking outside of the box. She listened to what they cared about. She also knew when to nurture them and get them to describe the core values and short/long term objectives of the YES programs. In a short period of meetings, the team developed logic models and tools to measure outcomes. The ending to this story was empowerment. Claudia helped us to discover a variety of individual interests and talents and then act together for a common goal."
Mary Williams
Former Executive Director, Youth Enrichment Services
"Claudia worked on a significant project with United Way to translate into Spanish and present an extensive training on using outcome measurement in nonprofit organizations. She brought a high degree of technical skill and sensitivity to language and cultural issues, as well as wonderful good humor that far exceeded my highest expectations and made the project both fun and successful."

Former Senior Director of Community impact, United Way of Mass Bay and Merrimack Valley
