“The core act of leadership must be the act of making conversations real.”
- Corporate Consultant David Whyte

Thoughts from various individuals Cline Consulting has collaborated with:

BUSINESS
“I am very appreciative of your intuitive leadership with our employees—you far exceeded my expectations and certainly those of our Rutherfoord group.”
Thomas Rutherfoord, President, Rutherfoord Companies, Roanoke, VA

"Working with Andrew Cline over the last year is one of the major reasons I am comfortably in control of my business today – confident as a business owner and feeling balanced. Before our weekly coaching conversations on the phone, it felt as though my business was running me. Andy guided me off this slippery slope. He is a valuable part of my business. His counsel is spot on."

Reid Callanan, Founder & Owner, Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, Santa Fe, NM

“Andy Cline told me about the concept Expedition Behavior. Having been on several long-term backcountry trips, the phrase resonated with me. It’s also the same attitude one needs to have in the stressful environment/matrix organization of a law firm. I’ve used Andy for leadership retreats. He’s great.”
Mark Beese, Marketing Director, Holland & Hart Attorneys at Law, Denver, CO

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
“I highly recommend Andrew Cline as a person who has greatly impressed me with his knowledge and skills in all aspects of leadership and communication. It was through his excellent teaching style and uncanny ability to accurately identify our strengths and weaknesses that we were able to mold ourselves into a very cohesive team. The feedback Andy provided from his observations has proven extremely valuable through the course of our preparation for flight.”
Rick D. Husband, Colonel, USAF, NASA Commander of Columbia STS-107

“I have had quite a bit of this before but was pleasantly surprised about how much (material) was new. The repeat material was a good refresher for me, and I think it was excellent for employees who had not been exposed to it before.”
Jim Bellamy, Deputy Superintendent, Grand Teton National Park - Moose, WY

HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
"Andy's work with our newly-formed division proved invaluable. He took the time to understand the needs of each individual as well as the department as a whole, ensuring that each member of the team was an active participant in our efforts to develop an Agreement of Understanding and identify key focus areas for the group for the coming year."
Scott Bradbury, Director, Division of E-Learning, American Academy of Pediatrics - Chicago, IL

NOT FOR PROFITS
“Throughout the year I have continually heard that the facilitated workshops you (and your colleagues) held were instrumental in assisting managers to understand the change process and communicate it to staff—you are an inspired consulting team and your ability to engage the staff and keep them focused on difficult tasks while engaging them to be open made all the difference. Turnover is down and staff morale is up. Direct, measurable accomplishments like that, I believe, are a result of the effective teams we built and project plans we developed with your help.”
Pier David, Training Manager, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - Seattle, WA

“One of our primary clients is the NASA Astronaut Office as we provide leadership training and long term expeditions to Space Shuttle and International Space Station Crews. Andy’s skills are of the highest quality of our staff. He challenges adult learners while also making them feel valued. This combination makes him an excellent educator and trainer.”
John Kanengieter, Director, Professional Training Institute of NOLS - Lander, WY
