“Ms. Heistad created a seminar plan which was uniquely suited to our needs: fostering leadership in a bilingual and multi-cultural environment, where the goal of providing quality service in the context of immigration and social legislation must take place under severe resource constraints. I recommend her services to other managers wishing to draw upon more fully the potential energy and creativity of their employees in order to improve productivity and adapt to change.”
Betsy Anderson, Consul General, American Embassy, Athens, Greece

"In my opinion she delivered far beyond what we paid for. She deftly handled the topic of confidentiality, one of our biggest problems last year and I am happy to report that it is no longer an issue this year. Our communication skills are much improved this year. I credit Kari’s workshop with this improvement as well. Her ever cheerful, optimistic outlook on life was a welcome relief and even contagious!"
Elizabeth Baylies, President, Board of Education, American Community School, Athens, Greece

“We were thrilled with the workshop. The first of its kind in Greece to focus on assisting non-governmental organizations. We received rave reviews from the participants. She drew upon the vast experience of the participants to draw connections between their experiences and the material being presented that allowed everyone to understand how the material could be put to use immediately in their organizations.”
Rosie Nassika, President, Hellenic Federation of Non-Governmental Voluntary Organizations

"Ms. Heistad demonstrated a high degree of initiative, competence and devotion, having contributed to the success of her students. She has been able to develop trust and respect among her students, and was an enthusiastic professor."
Konstandinos Kaiopoulos, Mediterranean College, Athens, Greece

"Kari has a good sense of humor and a calm manner. Unflappable, she took all challenges in stride and worked diligently to ensure that our collaboration was a great success, including adapting to functioning in a Greek environment."
Fokion Zaimis, General Director, Hellenic Federation of Information Technology Enterprises

"Kari was the coordinator for a conference that brought together 24 speakers from 5 countries and that had the support of the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations Information Center. Speakers included represenatives from the United Nations, BBC, Lockheed Martin, International Telecommications Union, Hellenic Ministry of Defense, Foreign Affairs and Interior and the California Governor's office. Organizing a conference such as this was a novel idea in Greece. Her organizational abilities were superb and she exhibited a large amount of patience while maintaining a positive and cheerful attitude that endeared her to those
working with her. She exhibits strong leadership skills in setting, communicating and achieving her goals."
Ingrid Lehmann, Director, United Nations Information Centre, Athens, Greece
