Testimonials

Articulate Integrity very much lives up to its name. As a Board member of the East Bay SPCA I participated in the search for a new Executive Director for the organization. Kerry Enright and her team at Articulate Integrity did an outstanding job in assisting us with this important decision. Because of them our search was not only highly successful, but it was also an enjoyable and interesting process. I give Articulate Integrity my highest recommendation.

I have worked with Kerry in several contexts; from serving on a board for which she was the E.D., to working shoulder-to-shoulder on a number of intricate projects. Having the word, “Integrity,” in the title of her company could not be more appropriate: no one in my experience exemplifies working with integrity than does Kerry. Furthermore, Kerry exudes a calm energy that brings out the best in people; and her creativity – whether focused on process or product – is remarkably nuanced. Her management style is one that inspires and motivates in lieu of command; and tends to yield results as close to vision as humanly possible…sometimes even more.

It is an honor to officially endorse Kerry Enright. Her professionalism, her attention to detail and her embodiment of what it means to have integrity has served as an inspiration to me. Without Kerry’s direct advocacy and professional support, my professional life would be far inferior today. I wholeheartedly recommend Kerry’s professional services to any interested parties.

Our Board hired Kerry as a consultant to lead our executive search process, and we were fortunate that she later accepted our invitation to serve as Streetside Stories’ Interim Executive Director. Our Board and staff give Kerry our highest recommendation. She worked closely with our transition committee to train us in the elements of a successful search, managing to simultaneously keep our stress level down and expectations high. As Interim ED, Kerry was able to implement important infrastructure changes while guiding the organization through the transition. Her recruiting skills were exceptional, yielding a candidate pool of outstanding caliber and fit. Kerry was the consummate consultant, working efficiently and effectively on our behalf to deliver a smooth Executive Director transition.

Kerry brought so much knowledge and value to the table that I felt like our whole board received an education. She kept us on track, gave us options to stay within our budget, and brought candidates to us who would not have otherwise found us. Most important for our tight-knit field, she helped build goodwill with all of our applicants. I even had people we turned down stop me to comment what a breath of fresh air Kerry’s professionalism was. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Given the size of her staff at the time and the challenges of building a new organization, Kerry did an exceptional job.
