“Mission Met focused us more in one day than we have in twenty years.”
“As the leaders of a nonprofit, our to-do list is continually long. The “strategic planning task” was always an item that stayed undone, and near the bottom. But now we are complete and total converts. This type of work makes all the regular days more smooth, pleasant and productive: fewer fires to put out, clearer understanding of what’s important and what can wait, greater funding, smoother relationships, and unexpected respect and status in the community due to our more professional organization.
Laura and Shawn Sears, Vida Verde Nature Education”
“It’s pretty daunting to position a not-for-profit organization to make the leap into the international arena while simultaneously managing the challenges of money, people, and mission. Mission Met has nurtured our staff and board through this process, helping us set clear strategic compass points, focus on our financial health, establish yearly objectives, and achieve and celebrate solid results. While working with them, we have streamlined our hiring, orientation, and performance management systems and increased the sophistication of our marketing efforts. We’ve created a plan for financial sustainability and have increased our staff satisfaction scores in 11 of 13 categories. We are a much stronger organization due to the passion and dedication of both Mission Met and our entire team.
Karen Mountain, Migrant Clinicians Network”
“I most appreciate their ability to diagnose what’s holding us back from being great managers and suggest research-based — but real-life — solutions that pushed us to the next level. I often found their insights to be a few steps ahead and right on the mark. Beyond this, they are just plain fun to work with. They greatly value relationships and it shows in everything they do.”
“They are incredibly gifted at facilitation, ensuring that all voices are heard and honored. They earned the trust and respect of our entire staff and improved our communication, planning, and productivity. They helped us develop an annual plan and to establish a system for monitoring the plan in addition to working with us on our values statement and other strategies that promote productivity and staff satisfaction.”
“Mission Met is fearless in their interactions with everybody on our senior management team. Their open, honest, and respectful style lets you know it’s “all about you.” These characteristics are essential in building trust with our team. We are now communicating and sharing our knowledge and successes, as well as our challenges in leading our departments — and we are now doing more to support the continued development of each person’s leadership skills due to their stewardship.”

“Mission Met has helped change my view of strategic planning. Before working with them, I believed strategic planning was basically about creating a three-year (or so) plan. Now I realize that effective strategic planning is actually a continuous and dynamic cycle of strengthening our team’s focus and results.”
“I’ve always resisted strategic planning. Other people always say, “Yeah, we did our plan but now it’s sitting on the shelf.” But that’s not the case here. This is a working thing; it’s really alive and giving us the focus we need”
“When we first hired Mission Met I had an idea that we’d get some sort of strategic plan. What I didn’t expect was the crystal-clear focus and implementation strategies that they helped us put into place. With their approach there is accountability to everything; we were getting results long after our day-long planning session. Plus, you backed us up to address and solve some tough team dynamics that would have been hard to do on our own.”
“Mission Met has the rare gift of bringing a sense of FUN to the sometimes tedious world of strategic planning. They are talented, insightful and bring people together in a lighthearted, easy-going manner. They were able to help us develop a framework and strategy for success in less than two days.”
“I’ve experienced plenty of strategic planning processes that were excruciatingly painful and drawn-out. That’s not the case with their approach. I’ve attended about seven of their facilitations and their ability to rapidly get group consensus and develop a strategy is impressive. They get results quickly and efficiently.”
