Testimonials
“RedFish Consulting has partnered with us on a number of challenging projects, from developing onboarding and acculturation programs to change management at the team and organizational levels. Google is a unique environment. We have found very few consultants who have the flexibility required to operate in this environment. RedFish not only has this flexibility, but also the expertise and skills that we need.”

“Karen May provided invaluable leadership coaching when I moved into the director role of a large regional reference laboratory. At the time, I was quite unfamiliar with business management and corporate culture. RedFish Consulting helped me successfully transition into the role and facilitated the development of a more effective organizational structure that incorporates flexibility, ongoing strategic reassessment, and a heightened awareness of personal accountability. RedFish has been instrumental in helping me translate my broad strategic vision into well-defined goals and objectives. My coaching sessions with Karen continue to be both valuable and enjoyable.”

“When working with RedFish Consulting, difficult concepts became easier and complicated issues were more fun. Therefore, I was more willing and better able to resolve many of the challenges my organizations faced. Reality-based solutions were sustainable because RedFish focused on growth and learning instead of fostering dependency. Because I was comfortable recommending RedFish to others in my organization, we started building consistency across groups and how we work. The investment in working with RedFish led to greater efficiency – there was real value.”
