Monica taught me more about comprehensive Strategic Planning than anyone did during my 18 years in the nonprofit field. I wish she had been my first "teacher".
Sylvia Hepler, Executive Director, AIDS Planning Coalition of South Central PA Although the Strategic Planning process created new work for us, Monica helped us renew our energy. We are all working much better together and getting more tasks accomplished in a shorter time frame than we ever imagined.
Becky Mohr, Lancaster Recovery Task Force Monica’s help in facilitating and creating our Strategic Plan made the process very easy for us! My employees were thrilled to be involved very closely in the process, and came out of the strategy session energized and excited about the direction of the company. The preparation and follow up work that Monica accomplished for us was organized, high quality and followed the specific timeline she set out at the beginning of the process. I am thrilled to have a detailed plan that we are now implementing!

Joe Geiger, Executive Director, PANO/PASAE Monica Gould’s presentations have offered the members of the Pennsylvania Tourism & Lodging Association, hands on, usable ideas to improve the performance and teamwork of any department within a lodging property. Her ideas are fresh, innovation and well presented. She is a true professional in her field.
Mark L. Krotulski, Director of Education, PA Tourism & Lodging Association Monica is a delightfully enthusiastic instructor who conveys that excitement to all her students. You can readily tell that she meticulously prepares her course material and lives for her students to achieve that ‘Aha!’ moment in her class. No one is better suited to be an instructor than Monica Gould.”

The comments from the members have been very encouraging of their satisfaction with the information content delivered.
Bobbi Hartlove-Fronczek, President, Infinite Solutions With Marketing LLC I have had the opportunity to see Monica lead both a local Agency Board and its staff through a strategic planning process and was impressed in the fact that not only did it produce a multi-year strategic plan, but job duties and metrics to measure its progress. This was truly a valuable process, and done in a way that will result in constant review and refinement, not like a typical plan that rests on a bookshelf until the next iteration.
Stephen Keys, Vice President, Highmark Blue Shield Monica offered a great presentation on time Management to our members. It was well put together and filled with valuable information. She kept the class interesting by way she interacted with the people in the room. We look forward to having her back again in the very near future!
Linda Dahr, Coordinator, AM Strategies for Business Success Mechanicsburg Chamber of Commerce I had the pleasure of hearing Monica speak at a recent networking event. While I had met Monica several times before, I had not heard any of her speeches. Not only was her speech well researched and relevant, but she encouraged (and received) great audience participation. I look forward to hearing her at future events.
Leigh Twiford, Vice President Regional Manager, Susquehanna Banks On behalf of the Harrisburg Automotive Trade Association, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for agreeing to speak to our group.

Tina Kline, Harrisburg Automobile Trade Association Strategic Consulting Partners responded to a request for proposals we issued to come to the Republic of Georgia and work with the largest university here on what was essentially a program to train senior management on modern strategic planning and management practices. We were very pleased with the results. Not only was Monica Gould extremely adept at assessing the needs of a non-English speaking university half way around the world, but she constructed a tailor-made program that indeed hit the targets we were looking for. It is obvious that SCP has the professional background and experience to fit any scenario from private business in the developed world, to public institutions in the developing world.
Kevin Carew, Country Director, World Learning, Georgia Monica presented an education program at our 2007 Annual Meeting. Because Monica’s program was so well received, and provided timely and important information on succession planning, we are working with her to provide a series of webinars in 2008.
Leigh Philibosian, VP, Marketing, Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union "Monica was instrumental in the success of the new database and workflow application which we built for the Antique Auto Club of America in Hershey, PA. She facilitated a complex requirements analysis, as well as managed the project from cradle-to-grave. With her help, the project rolled-out smoothly, on-time, and on-budget."
