“My name is Becky Breit and I served as Team Leader for a group of trainers and consultants at the Business & Technology College in Kansas City, MO for eight years. During that time, Jennifer Yazell and I worked on a large project to assist an educational institution improve their efficiency and compliance with regards to how they administered financial aid funds to students. It was a complex project and involved dealing with some very difficult people. Not only were we tasked with helping them improve their processes, but we also evaluated the institution’s use of PeopleSoft in financial aid. Jennifer served as the project manager and did an excellent job. She facilitated the focus groups, coordinated data collection and we worked together to analyze the data and write a recommendation report for improvements. The project was completed on-time and under budget. The client was very happy. Jennifer is a gem to work with and I’d partner with her any day!”

“I have been the Long Range Planning Committee Chairman for the Ozark Chapel Methodist Church in Laurie, Missouri for the past 6 years. During that time we had been attempting to address the strategic issues of our church. We had struggled with identifying these issues and finally 2 years ago called in Jennifer Yazell of Golden Egg Communications to help us with the process.
With Jennifer’s direction and leadership, we were able to complete a Mission Statement, identify our Core Values and structure a 5 year plan that has enabled our church to clarify our goals, growth and vision for the future. Since our experience with Jennifer, we have begun the process which will lead to growth in our church. I highly recommend Jennifer as a facilitator who can help the leadeship in a church to complete the process of strategic planning.”

Jennifer and her consulting partner worked with our management group for over 6 months to pinpoint the breakdowns in the current process and completely re-designed a better process.
In the end, she delivered a comprehensive recommendation report, along with new process maps, which we have used to make major changes to improve our business.
Jennifer does excellent work and we value the ways she contributes to our success.”

“Jennifer Yazell is an amazing resource for team building among groups. I witnessed this personally at our staff’s first ever team building experience in March of 2006. Jennifer is very good at helping people feel relaxed as they learn about the importance of team dynamics. Jennifer helped us learn more about what makes people tick and how to interact with others effectively. We laughed, we shared, and we discussed important staff issues. The difference was like night and day for our group. You could feel the office atmosphere improve ten fold from the day before. Jennifer is an amazing human resource coach. I highly recommmend her!”
