CLIENTS
I've had the privilege of working closely with Monica as consultant with The Learning Agenda where she [was] a lead designer and facilitator of a professional learning community which supports education agencies across Texas in summer learning planning, program design, and change management.
The participant is always at the center of Monica's learning community design. She draws on her own experience as a practitioner and considers the unique needs of participants to ensure workshops are relevant, interactive, and impactful. Monica sees participants as experts in their work, and creates opportunities for them to give input on what they learn and how they engage in the community, as well as elevates their experience and programs as models for others. She values collaboration, inviting others to share, learn and reflect together to find the best ideas and solutions for the work her work. Above all, Monica brings a human element to her work, valuing the people behind the projects and creating space for connection.
Katie Willse, Engagement Manager, The Learning Agenda
Working with Monica is a potent mix of generative, joyful, and healthy challenging work!
[She] challenged us to consider periodically how our values are being lived out, and to reflect and adjust often. Used to think we had to do a lot to be productive and Monica guided us to spread work out over time in more sustainable way.
Monica provides a lot of resources and helpful formats for organizational structure. She weaves a wonderful blend of creative approaches to values alignment, expansive visioning, while offering grounded frameworks for sustainable development. She is very generous with her sharing of very useful resources and tools that she has created over time.
Sana Roots Collective
Working with Monica Armendariz Consulting has been a game changer for our organization. The MAC team has approached both of our projects with authenticity and 100% commitment to not just doing the work from a surface level, but from genuinely immersing themselves in who our organization is and then building from there. As an small organization, resources and bandwidth can often feel very limited, but with MAC, it feels like an extension of our own team. I have never felt like a client whose project they're working on, but rather that we are one team working together to get Todos Juntos to the place that makes the most sense for our organization, and more importantly for the families we serve.
Christina Collazo, Executive Director, Todos Juntos Learning Center
My team hired Monica to develop a “train the facilitator” program for 30 conference presenters. From start to finish, Monica demonstrated exceptional professionalism, facilitation skill, collaboration and problem solving ability. She has the unique ability to track project details while maintaining a creative big picture approach to design. As a seasoned non-profit leader, she understands intrinsically how important it is to deliver high quality products and service in a cost effective manner. I highly recommend her as a top-notch facilitator and consultant.
Lauren Schlezinger, Jewish Community Federation & Endowment Fund
Monica is both a skilled facilitator and trainer and a genuinely positive and encouraging human. Our team benefited from her collaborative approach to creating our training sessions and the way she was able to tailor the content to fit our needs as a team. She brought a wealth of knowledge and resources, but more importantly, the ability to ask great questions and find out where she could best support and sharpen our existing skills and strengths. We had lots of fun working with her and look forward to working with her more in the future.
Ian Hunter-Crawford, Programs Director, Urban Roots
Monica helped us bring life and purpose to a recurring meeting that had become ineffective, unengaging, and redundant. Through her experience and expertise, she gave us the tools to redesign the meeting in a way that fosters creativity, facilitates meaningful engagement, and lends itself to adaptability as needs change. Her professionalism and kindness made the experience genuinely enjoyable.
