What people are saying about us…

“I cannot speak highly enough about The Bader Group, who I retained in order to assist us in our organizational development projects and to meet our leadership coaching needs. Their assistance in these areas has been invaluable. I was deeply impressed with the quality of services, flexibility, and overall professionalism, and they added value not only to leaders involved in the coaching process, but to everyone at our organization with whom they came in contact. I would unhesitatingly recommend The Bader Group to any organization looking for an extremely competent, personable, and professional consulting firm.”

“The Bader Group has provided and managed approximately 30 coaching engagements for us over a year and a half and we plan to continue to grow the coaching over the next 2 years. The Bader Group provided highly qualified, experienced and skilled coaches who are helping our leaders develop and grow for our organization.

The process included: utilizing a model that fit our culture and business demands, deciding on appropriate assessments, assisting in coach-coachee matchings, managing kickoff meetings for all coachee cohorts, coordinating/supervising 8 coaches, and balancing the individual coachees’ needs/goals with key organizational initiatives.

Through surveys and focus groups, the coaching services and process were evaluated with strong positive results and evidence of solid impact. Suggestions received served to further tailor the process and inform the coaches. Most importantly, these evaluations highlighted organizational and leadership themes important for the growth of the entire organization. This OD or systems
approach has doubled the value of our investment in coaching.

Dr. Anne Liljenstrand, who served as the project manager as well as a coach exceeded my expectations for a consultancy service. I would strongly recommend The Bader Group and would hire them again without hesitation. We are continuing to utilize the expertise and support from The Bader Group in a variety of organizational initiatives such as culture transformation, group coaching, evaluation, teambuilding and strategy development support.”

“Most importantly, I’m scheduling time to plan, listen, develop people, review, coach and do all the things I enjoy most – with obvious benefit to the organization. It’s great!
So – thanks again for your contribution through our coaching sessions last year. You really made a difference.”

“Thanks so much for facilitating our strategic planning session two years ago! We haven’t forgotten all that we learned from you. At both the midyear and annual meetings we revisit our strategic plan, evaluate our accomplishments and challenges, and if necessary, readjust our priorities. The entire process has been and continues to be enormously beneficial to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology board and members.”

“Over a number of months I worked closely with Anne Liljenstrand and Gloria Bader of The Bader Group to design an Executive coaching program for our organization’s top management team. The Bader Group offered a seamless portfolio of materials and guidance ranging from the design of all coach selection materials, a process and materials for a WW standardized coach training program fitting our company culture, as well as evaluation materials. Anne Liljenstrand offered guidance on best practices throughout the design and roll out phase ensuring that the program was successfully launched. The management team found the coaching program helpful for both their individual and team development.”

“Gloria is a highly effective coach with biotechnology and pharmaceutical executives.  She capably diagnosed a problem involving a line executive who needed to be more collaborative on his project teams. As a project leader, I was able to negotiate an agreement with him which both addressed his needs and also led to more harmony within our team.”

“CCL gave me the opportunity to know myself and taught me what I need to develop. However, knowing you was also precious for me. It was a short three calls we had but your kind coaching and warm advice will be very useful for my future— in not only my personal life but also my career. I wish you health and good luck.”

“My association with The Bader Group extended over ten years. For every Organizational Development challenge we faced, whether it was a culture change demand, an executive coaching challenge, a complex management opinion survey, facilitating efforts to achieve the Baldrige requirements, or even planning a staff renewal event, Gloria worked with us to design original interventions that were simultaneously brave, practical, effective, and motivating.”

“Through my coaching engagement with Anne Liljenstrand of The Bader Group, I learned and tried new ways of communicating with my team, peers and managers. The changes in my style were noticed right away as I started receiving direct and indirect positive feedback.

I believe due to Anne’s coaching, I am now being approached and considered for more challenging roles within the organization. I feel more satisfied with my interpersonal relationships and see myself more effective at work.”
