On behalf of the Arts & Business Council of Greater Phoenix, I want to thank: you again for the excellent presentation you made to the Diversity Leader Search Business on Board Class. Your presentation, "Diversity", was critical in establishing a solid foundation for board service, was very well received. All sessions that follow it are strengthened by having a clearer picture of the role of a board member.” — Jeannette Thomas, Community Relations Manager, http://www.artsbusinessphoenix.org/

I was immediately taken with her honesty, sense of humor and creativity. Joel keeps her promises. She owns her results. Our organization was so 'smitten' with her, we retained her for two separate contracts (diversity & leadership) over a 5-7 year period. Stellar individual ...stellar results!” July 4, 2011 — Leslie Warren, Client
