"One thing that I think reDirect was very forward thinking in, was that this work actually deserves resources. Having the space to think about how we work...and the opportunity to talk about the work in a peer learning environment, to me was really exciting." - Katie Navin, Executive Director of CAEE

"When organizations ask us about what they can do to build equitable environments within their own structure, we now feel as though we can confidently share our own experiences using SEE as a tool to help create what can often be an elusive culture of belonging." -Amy Lytle, Executive Director at HandsOn NWNC; Points of Light Affiliate grantee

"A lesson we took away from our engagement with reDirect is that small experiments lead to more effective and lasting results. Part of this has been learning that we may need to try a few different things to find the thing that actually addresses the underlying problem, and that the experiments may help us more accurately identify the underlying problem. By starting with small experiments, we are more likely to find out if we are on the right path or not, faster, and with less frustration and wasted effort." - Julia Stewart, Executive Director of TGP

"Community Resource Center’s engagement with reDirect has been a transformative experience during a time of exciting growth and change for the organization. Staff identified communication, accessibility, and workload as key areas for improvement through utilization SEE, and we've refined, and implemented tools and strategies within the framework of SEE to make our work and our team more effective and efficient." - Maria Fabula, Executive Director of CRC

"Community Shares was lucky to join the reDirect cohort during a time of leadership, staffing, and organizational transition. In the first year, the learning process to explore and understand SEE, and the application of SEE amongst peers to address needs, challenges, and concerns was the most valuable part of the experience. SEE is a framework that must be understood, appreciated, and embraced by the leadership of an organization." - Erin Atwell, Executive Director of Community Shares

"CNA acquired the Center for Nonprofit Excellence in Colorado Springs, merging two organizations and teams. I can’t tell you how different the experience was, than it would have been before we went through the SEE process. Because we had a better understanding of ourselves as individuals and as a whole, and had created structures that reflect the kind of culture and operating environment we strive for, the cultural integration of the new team members has been joyous." - Renny Fagan, Executive Director of CNA

"The concept of a mental model, in particular, gave us a framework for thinking about things that we never had before. Working for Playworks isn’t like working for any other company, and the more we can prepare people for what it’s like to be here, the more likely they are to stay." -Andrea Woolley, Executive Director of Playworks

"As time evolved, SEE became a way of thinking and not just a project to work on. The last 2 years have allowed my team to use SEE on a regular basis to make changes and to review checks and balances. SEE has become a concept for management to use to inform decision making on a daily basis." - Lynne Picard, Executive Director of YEA

"Personally, I am integrating the SEE components not only in my work, but also into other projects and relationships, enabling me to communicate more effectively, and in turn, successfully achieving the results that I want and need. I was too often focused on the finish line, uninterested in spending time on the details...With SEE, I now rearrange my thought process to make space for others- I get out of my own way." Michele Francesconi, VP of Capacity Building, Training & Strategic Initiatives at Jersey Cares; Points of Light Affiliate grantee

"Our staff onboarding and orientation has become substantially more streamlined and efficient when implementing the SEE framework as it now provides the space, time and clarity that a new team member needs when starting their role. We have learned that our fast paced work environment, although exciting and mission-driven, can be overwhelming when we don’t initially set the right pace for how we share information with the new employee about our programs and services, as well as how their role plays a part in serving A Precious Child’s mission." - Nichole Everman, Executive Director of A Precious Child; Points of Light Affiliate grantee
