Rose-Anne Gosselin from the First Nations Human Development Commission of Quebec (FNHRDCQ) writes:
By introducing us to Open Space techniques, Ms. Corriveau allowed us to prepare ourselves adequately and to welcome participants with confidence and enthusiasm...
Open Space techniques allowed us to share and discover the richness of our experiences , individual and collective, in the greatest freedom. The contribution of each and everyone, essential to achieving the objective of the meeting, was recognized. We are grateful to Mrs. Corriveau for having accompanied us in this experience which translates into a collective project for the years to come.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR writes:
The Women's Association of Iceland hired Kári as a consultant in the fall of 2012 to manage, facilitate and process discussions and group session offerings for the 36th National Congress of the Women's Association of Iceland with the Open Space Technology method. About 150 participants from the leadership of all the project-based and the regional-based women's groups come together every three years to set the agenda until the next Women's Associations National Congress.
The method was unknown among the participants and Kári solved the task with great splendor. He both explained it well and managed it with great diligence during the four days of the Congress. He also assisted the Women's Association with exceptional agility, leadership coaching, and knowledge of conducting these kinds of projects and was close at hand with its follow-up. The project that Kári took on for the Women's Association completely met the requirements and actually far exceeded the expectations of the board of The Women's Association of Iceland at the time. Participants from that Congress have since, both for the different women's organizations and other groups in which they work, made use of his knowledge and skills as a process facilitator and coach.
CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD writes:
As the owner and CEO of the Hjalli Model, a leading entrepreneurial company specializing in the field of Education in Iceland, I recommend Kàri's services. We sought Kári's professional service as an executive coach in 2013 with a large meeting in our educational association where about 20 principals meet monthly for 1-2 hours.
The usual meetings often did not yield a clear enough conclusion and the discussion all too often went too wide. Kári's facilitation of a half a day meeting returned a much clearer focus to us, and the participation of all attendees became greater and more even, which resulted in a better agreement.
Kári is also a trusted advisor for the business challenges I run into. He gives a completely new perspective and unconventional approach to many of my challenges as the owner and CEO of the company. I would highly recommend Kari to any executives or organization for their facilitation or coaching needs.
