Susan’s uncanny ability to see the complete picture and reduce it to workable parts, plus her talent at motivating even the most hard core holdouts, combine to make Susan a consultant of the highest caliber. Among Susan’s secret weapons are her grace and marvelous good humor so carefully wielded that one hardly realizes that a deadline or rigorous assignment has been issued. Susan thinks strategically and instructs strategically.

I am excited to praise and recommend Susan Detwiler. It is harder than ever for nonprofit organizations of all sizes to successfully operate today. In my decades of experience, I have seen few who can expertly analyze and lead organizational development efforts as expertly as Susan. She has a great ability to cut through the subjectivity of Board and staff members with challenging questions that are unbiased but insightful. Susan’s calm demeanor and supportive approach builds trust and confidence from the start of the process. You really feel that she is part of the team throughout the engagement. Susan is equally effective working with small or large organizations. She is skilled at group dynamics, involving everyone and getting honest self-assessment from members. If you are seeking the intervention and leadership of an outside professional to take an honest look at your organization and develop a solid strategic vision, you will be well served by retaining Susan Detwiler.”
