“The Vernal Manaement Consultants' team has helped PMI get through a very difficult time in its governance lifecycle. Thanks to the work that VMC did in the first six months, you helped raise the awareness of the board of the need for professionalism and helped them focus on agreeing on effective ‘rules of engagement’. The process you used was successful. One of our most important success stories is the use of ‘executive coaching’. Thank you for all of the work that you have done to help PMI senior staff and our board improve our leadership ability.”
Greg Balestrero, CEO, Project Management Institute
"As the 'grey beard' on the Board, in terms of age and experience, I was initially somewhat skeptical of the need and the applicability of such activity to both our Board and to me. So I entered the coaching process with quite a bit of caution. I am pleased to report that the experience has been positive to me as an individual and, in my perspective, to the Board in general. I look forward to my regular sessions with my "coach" and to receiving constructive comments on how I might improve my role and relationships with my Board colleagues. It has shown me that lifelong learning is achievable." James M. Gallagher, PMP Director, Project Management Institute 2004 Board of Directors |
