I have had the pleasure of collaborating with the Dendros team on several projects over the past years, and they are consistently highly respectful, engaging, and professional. A great team to work with!

— Suzanne Koepplinger, Executive Director, Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center

Over the years I have participated in innumerable facilitated meetings, planning sessions, charettes etc. I can say without reservation that one of the very best experiences I have had has been working under the facilitation of Jonathan Bucki. His efforts and results were more remarkable for the fact that he had an extremely disparate group to work with, many of whom had never met, and came from distinctly different backgrounds. Simply put, Jonathan is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

— Alexander Zwissler, Executive Director/CEO, Chabot Space & Science Center, Oakland CA

The Dendros Group represent the best of the participatory process. Their process was customized to fit the needs and capabilities of our organization and our staff. From the initial crafting of the idea to the completion of a plan, they worked with us every step of the way, stretching our own internal capacity.

Jonathan Bucki is a skilled and engaging facilitator. He possesses great ability to build a group’s sense of ownership and participation. Their commitment results in a stronger, more action oriented organization that can sustain its efforts. Diverse perspectives are heard and valued. The results are top notch.

— Jan Berry, President, MACC Alliance of Connected Communities

The Dendros team showed integrity, diligence, compassion and excellent follow-through on an extraordinarily complicated organizational assessment. Their recommendations to us were responsive to the data and forced the Board to address issues we had been avoiding.

The Dendros Group came to our rescue in style. We will always remember Dendros for the leadership and inspiration they provided.

— Cynthia Savage, CEO, Circle of Parents

Jonathan Bucki at Dendros Group is a masterful guide in strategic group processes. He helps leaders establish their shared vision and carefully and forcefully helps them develop a road map to success. His touch is gentle and wise. I recommend him with enthusiasm.

— Peter Peter Benson, PhD, President & CEO, Search Institute

We needed to find the right facilitator to lead a group of strategic planners through a strategic planning process. The Dendros Group provided a skilled, sensitive approach to engage our Board of Directors in a supportive and challenging process. When we completed our plan we were a stronger organization. Thank you, Dendros Group, for never being business as usual. You inspire us.

— Kirsten Ellenbogen, President, Visitor Studies Association

Jonathan’s deep level of insight helped our company (and me) reach a new direction. He is a strategic thinker, trusted adviser, energizing coach, and role model who challenges how I look at the world, live my life, and do my work. His courageous and natural vulnerability in his coaching is contagious and continues to inspire me.

— Rob Yedlin, President, Cloud 9 Pixels

The Dendros Group is a great resource to the nonprofit community. Having worked with the Dendros Group on several projects, I admire the intellectual and creative capital they bring to planning and implementation and I appreciate their spirit of positive inquiry and problem solving.

— Molly Greenman, President and CEO, Family Partnership

Working with Dendros has at once, been both a personal and a professional pleasure. The team brings a unique spirit, a tenacious discipline, and through the use of influence and negotiation, makes functioning bodies of amorphous alliances. I offer my highest recommendation for their work.
