Senior Executive, Defense Intelligence Agency, May 2025
"Your coaching was critical to carrying me through my professional and personal experiences during the most challenging time of my life. I really appreciate you. As I take coaching training myself, I think back to our first session, when you may have come to the meeting anticipating a newly-selected senior leader thinking through their next steps, and instead you received someone ominously waiting on a cancer diagnosis and unsure of how it would impact my job and my life, while simultaneously being assigned to greater work responsibilities. How you figured out where to go from there—I will never know but will always appreciate your generous gift of coaching. Thank you!"
Chief, Intelligence Planning & Readiness Division, STRATCOM, May 2024
Dr. Picard's culture project has been a transformative experience for our division. As a senior leader, I've witnessed firsthand the drastic improvement in camaraderie among our team members, forged by identification of our shared expectations. We created a culture tailored to our function because a blanket vision across multiple organizations is not enough to create a work center identity. Dr. Picard's insightful guidance and engaging workshops have fostered a culture of collaboration, trust, and mutual respect. Our division has become more cohesive, productive, and resilient as a result, and I feel I have a better understanding of the workforce. I highly recommend Dr. Picard's expertise to any organization seeking to enhance their workplace culture and drive success.
Branch Chief, STRATCOM, 2024
This workshop far exceeded my expectations. As a leader I found it extremely valuable to hear my team's perspective. The environment that Dr. Picard established made everyone feel comfortable to provide open and honest feedback. I also felt that folks were very comfortable to engage and provide input. I am hoping to encourage [my manager] to conduct this workshop for the broader team.
