relationships matter

"Candice and I have worked together for 14 years on various projects in Canada, the United States, and Australia. Candice has world-class skills as a family meeting facilitator, conflict resolution professional, and executive leader with vast public policy and political experience. One of my favorite things about Candice is that whatever she does and wherever she goes, she has always stayed close to practicing with young people, parents, and kin. I don’t know of any facilitator of small or large gatherings of people who is more skilled at catalyzing and creating an environment of respect and safety. "

"Candice exemplifies professionalism and ethical practice and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Her passion for family engagement and dedication to ensuring permanency for children make her a standout professional in this field. It was a privilege to work with her, and I look forward to seeing the continued positive impact she will have on families and communities.  Candice possesses a deep understanding of child welfare policies and practices as well as being an expert at large scale system change.  Her comprehensive approach to implementation made collaborating with her a delight not just for those designing the change but also for those that were directly impacted."

"Candice has made a lasting impact on the child welfare system in Texas. Through her passion for and commitment to connections, her ability to inspire and mobilize others, and her resilience, she has accomplished what few have been able to do--create and sustain change at a systemic level."

"Candice is the leadership consultant everyone needs! She is innovative, determined, driven and will work tirelessly for you! Her experience is vast and her work has had significant impact both in Canada and in the United States. Relationships and meaningful connections are critical components to everyone’s healing journey. Trust in Candice and she’ll bring skills and tools to your organization that will improve outcomes and build intentionality into your work."

"Candice has changed so many lives, including mine.  Her ability to forge lasting connections and bring people together is incredible.  I strive to be better and she has been a shining example. My outlook and philosophy about people and connections has changed for the better, because of Candice.  I know her impact will last a lifetime.  I am thankful to have worked with Candice towards a shared vision for Texas; she has been a true collaborative partner."
