Our Clients

We work with extraordinary people doing extraordinary things

This was the best executive education experience I have had in my career at Microsoft. I was able to immediately apply the practices from the session to the challenges facing my organization and make significant progress as we transition to a new way of working.

– Microsoft Worldwide Sales

CLA’s direct and powerful approach to bringing about effective and meaningful change made all the difference in our efforts to forge a coalition to establish the best public schools in Delaware. Those involved included warring interests, reluctant participants and skeptics of every stripe. But after CLA confronted and provoked us, inspired and cajoled us we focused on our common goal rather than our differences.

– John Taylor Executive Director Delaware Public Policy Institute

Developing consensus, a sense of shared vision and direction; a cohesiveness of purpose; a sense of commonality and shared values is always a challenge. It is against this backdrop that the CLA team excels in fostering cohesion and a sense of shared enterprise – a tour de force for any professional services organization dedicated to improving its management culture.

– Allen I. Fagin, Chairman, Proskauer Rose LLP
