Client Quotes:
“Cathy Stevens successfully lead us out of a low point in our fledgling partnership. We now have a mutual expectations agreement and decision-making matrix to guide us. Our multi-party relationship between the District and three diverse bargaining units is complex. Cathy’s experience and creative approach towards interest based solutions really paid off for us. She has made a tremendous contribution in a very short period of time.” —Jose Peralez, former HR Director, Santa Clara Valley Water District
“It was a pleasure to have worked with you. The reaction to the sessions and to your leadership has been wonderful. One of our members did go to the Board meeting last night to tell him how powerful the sessions were and to thank them for allowing the MOT team to work through these issues. We have initiated some follow-up steps which closely resemble what we discussed after the session on Tuesday. I hope we’ll get a chance to work together again sometime. You are so skillful with groups. Thanks so much for your work here. It is very much appreciated.” —Greg Kampf, Superintendent, Lompoc Unified School District
