Through management retreats, team building, and Community Building exercises, Ed worked to bring about some dramatic organizational and cultural change.”

Power & Potential
“I have experienced the power and potential of Community Building after participating in a workshop with Edward Groody. His supportive facilitating style was able to shift the group to much deeper levels of relationship and create bonds that have had lasting impact on my life. I have attended many, many trainings. This experience was truly unique. I recommend his work to anyone who is searching for authenticity in their lives and success in their organization or business.”
Jan McNally
Chief Administrative Officer, Methodist Medical Center, Oak Ridge, TN
Leadership Teams & Action Plans
“I have worked with Ed Groody for the last four years in a variety of settings, and two very different companies, within a moderately large health system in the southeast. While the challenges within both organizations were multiple and complex (they always are, it seems!), Ed and his associates were instrumental in helping our leadership teams develop action plans and an approach which was tailor-made for our needs. I cannot say enough about the integrity he brings to his work in addition to the “technical” expertise. I believe our results say the rest.”
Jerry Askew
Alliance for Better Non-Profits
Personally & Professionally Fulfilling
“I found the Community Building Workshop I attended to be both personally and professionally fulfilling. There was an amazing alchemy in the room that converted reticence into trust and set the stage for lasting relationships. I highly recommend the experience.”
