What Our Learners Say
“The format of the handouts and flow of the presentations are great! I appreciate your making this available to us.”
Kabo Yang“I found the CDI courses a great way to validate what I know as well as identify what I need to learn more about in the world of consulting. The various learning techniques used – videos, articles, websites, reflective journaling – really enhanced my experience in exploring each topic. I’m eager to begin my next course!”
Lisa Cunningham Roberts“The Collaborative Consulting program was excellent. The information was valuable for both internal and external consultants. Many of the tools that were provided will be a great resource for me in the future. One the things I appreciated was the opportunity to get to know other Minnesota Organization Development Network Members and understand their consulting practices. Great information. Great discussion. Just Great!”
Lori Spangler“My expectations were exceeded! It brought new resources to my team. My learning deepened, and I am motivated to act!”
Timothy Fowler“I appreciate having it all laid out with the checkpoints along the way, including the reality check of the action plan and how to ensure the plan is complete and how to ensure it will be implemented.”
Kathie Kramer Ryan“I joined the CDI’s ‘Collaborative Consulting Training’ to benefit my internal role as Recruiting, Training & Development Director. The series reinforced what I know about a consultation and helped set me up for success as a Director working internally across departments.”
Monica Dornbach“CDI’s courses were very valuable to me. The courses help, not only independent consultants, but also internal consultants, as they provide fresh perspectives to their team.”

George Langer“I have been very impressed with the content of the lectures, the interactive conversations on the web-conference sessions, the wonderfully rich resource materials, and the reflective exercises with each lecture.”
Steve Rohde“CDI was a valuable and worthwhile experience! I learned a lot and appreciate the rich and diverse topics that were covered in the videos and the conversations.”
Sondra Reis“I do recommend this program to anyone, including in Organization Development … and it was great to have both internal and external people to give those different perspectives. The peer sessions were incredibly positive and supportive.”
Kara Sime“I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity twice now to participate in your amazing consultant trainings. I have gained so much from the trainings and shared knowledge in the room …. We are all better prepared to move the project forward and have excellent perspectives that will guide us in our next steps.”
Amy Cole Buehler, MA“The online content and additional reading paired up with the facilitated peer learning sessions worked well… Of most value to me was what I learned about the entire structure of the collaborative consulting process. Even after 20 pretty successful years in practice, I learned excellent tips and steps to include in every engagement.”
Lynn Moline, MBA“Although I have been an internal HR practitioner my entire career, I found CDI’s courses highly beneficial and applicable to my current role. The consulting courses confirmed that I was following a solid problem solving-format. The opportunity to interact with the other participants was also of tremendous value.”
Darlene Ricke“I learned much from the consulting courses. They were very well and consistently laid out!”
Steve P. Shore“I really enjoyed your online courses experience. You have done great work with your certificate programs — congrats!”
Dr. Melissa Goodson“After working in the nonprofit realm for 20 years, I recently launched my own consulting business. To further refine both my skills and my content, I purchased the series “Collaborative Consulting Training” offered through the Consultants Development Institute. It was well-worth the time and investment. The videos were succinct and easy to follow. Handouts and resources were excellent. I’ll be going back to these tools over and over. I highly recommend!”
Patricia Nagelkirk“I found this course [An Overview of Sensible Strategic Planning] very informative and things were laid out to the point and very simple to interpret.”
