Frank is a fantastic strategic partner. He helped us define and execute our company's vision. He is incredibly smart and extremely organized. And, his attention to detail and integrity is refreshing. He is truly a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him over and over again.

My first experience working with Frank for the 2013 Cause Conference was excellent! Frank kept his composure and kept the ship sailing smoothly up and through the successful conference. His breath of knowledge in the industry was helpful. He's kind, open and reliable. I truly enjoyed working with Frank and look forward to continuing our business relationship.

I've known Frank for a few years as a fellow B-Corporation executive in town and always found him to be insightful and thoughtful in his business dealings. But it was only recently that we had an opportunity to work together on the Cause Conference 2013. As co-chair of the conference, he recruited a dynamic and diverse planning team, organized sub-teams with grace and skill, and executed a stunningly successful conference. He was the "rainmaker" who brought in blockbuster speakers and sponsors. He has that rare combination of strategic vision *and* tactical detail-oriented execution. I would heartily recommend him conference services or other cause marketing related work where matching skills and aligning interests across diverse constituents is critical.

I have worked with Frank for over a decade and can attest to his keen focus on delivering cost-effective value to his customers through solutions that pay off. His ability to uncover opportunities that, when acted upon, deliver meaningful and measurable results. Franks has strong organizational skills, people leadership, is clearly “ahead of the curve” in bringing in new ideas and solutions and is highly committed to socially responsible business practices and strong ethics. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking any of these skills and attributes.

I have had the pleasure of working with Frank on a number of occasions and always with great results. Thoughtful, smart, organized and task driven, Frank is a wonderful mentor and coach. His training to my team resulted in immediate results that translated into improved collaboration, reduced barriers, smarter planning and organizing skills and a higher quality product. Highly Recommended!

Frank tackles a project with a clear and concise strategy tailored to the objectives of the project. He brings creative thoughts and ideas to every project in which he leads. Never before, and never since, have I worked with someone as results-driven as Frank.

In addition to his individual contribution to a project, Frank's enthusiasm is infectious and helps create an exciting team atmosphere.

Frank is incredibly effective as a coach. I am on the Board of a non-profit and we hired him to come in and provide some direction in our Strategic Plan. He was creative, efficient, had great tools, and provided great direction for the organization. I strongly recommend Frank as a consultant to your business.
