Client Feedback:
Dolph Goldenburg led us through our first professionally led strategic planning process for Innovative Solutions for Disadvantage & Disability (ISDD) and helped us to develop a workable plan. He is a sensitive, calm and diplomatic consultant with a reasoned and detailed approach for managing both current and future needs of an organization. As a former nonprofit executive director, he has a practical, rather than just a theoretical, understanding of organizational management which sets him apart from other consultants. He has a great sense of humor and the ability to make the strategic planning process enjoyable as well as productive. He can see the big picture while still being able to drill down to the process and detail level. Dolph is also flexible and adaptable, he was able to make changes when challenges arose during the process to keep us on track. He promised a high level of service and that is exactly what we got! - Rainie Jueschke, Executive Director Innovative Solutions for Disadvantage & Disability |
Engagement: Strategic Planning
Feedback: It was a pleasure to work with Dolph on the Georgia Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing's (GCDHH) three-year Strategic Plan. With his experience and vast knowledge, we gained the information needed for our agency’s to grow and become successful. Also, he was able to moderate the meeting with both Deaf and Hearing participants which can be difficult for most consultants. We truly appreciate all his hard work and dedication for our future as a thriving organization. - Jimmy Peterson, CEO Georgia Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing |

Feedback: I had the chance to hear Dolph speak about boards and was so impressed with his presentation. He had a way of pulling all the information together in an easy to follow format. I just knew that he could help do that for our board. Dolph took us through a wonderful process and we could not have been more pleased. His guidance and support along the way, made the process enjoyable! The care that he takes with his clients is a model for us all. I look forward to working with him again in the future. - Che D. Watkins, CEO The Center for Working Families |

Engagement: Sustainability Plan
Feedback: Dolph is [insert favorite expletive] amazing! PD Gladiators is a small nonprofit--much smaller than Dolph typically advises--but he treated us like we were the United Way. The level of detail at which he works went well beyond expectations, and I think inspired our team to execute. Watching Dolph work is like observing a world-class artist--each brushstroke is simple yet calculated to result in a thing of beauty. I recommend him wholeheartedly. - Larry Kahn, CEO PD Gladiators |
Engagement: Strategic Planning
Feedback: I am exceptionally impressed by Dolph's ability to bring all of the parts of an organization together and inspire us to move forward for years to come. Dolph goes above and beyond to make meetings efficient and productive. He provides empathic and sound guidance. The tools and resources he uses are attractive and user-friendly. - Rebecca Stapel-Wax, Executive Director SOJOURN |
Engagement: Board Development
Feedback: The Sheltering Arms Board had been on a 12 month journey towards increased effectiveness when we engaged Dolph and his firm. Dolph's leadership and willingness to tailor a program that met us where we were on our journey was invaluable. He added a personalized and objective touch to engaging our large board, providing us with segmented insights that would have been more challenging to uncover working on our own. Because of Dolph, the Sheltering Arms Board has increased momentum going into a new year, and is on the path to operating at higher levels of effectiveness! - Michael Smith, Board Chair Sheltering Arms |

Engagement: Strategic Planning
Feedback: Simply put, Dolph was outstanding. GLA Board members and I worked with Dolph over a six-month period to create a Strategic Plan that is transforming our organization. Dolph challenged our organization to reach further programmatically. He challenged what was already a highly-functioning Board to go above and beyond their current obligations. Because of Dolph, the Board is operating at an extraordinary level. Dolph showed time and again through this process why board relations and governance are his expertise. - Meredith Ragains, Executive Director Georgia Lawyers for the Arts |
Engagement: Interim Executive Director
Feedback: Dolph Goldenburg is . . . a strong nonprofit interim executive director . . . who can navigate past pitfalls and can step in with confidence and authority. If any other organization finds itself about to experience a transition at the top and wants real dynamic and focused leadership, The Goldenburg Group is the route to go. - Debbie Brennan, Board Chair Brooklyn Community Pride Center |
Engagement: Board Development Feedback: Dolph came in and helped the board do an initial assessment. Through those guided discussions we were able to quickly determine our strength and weakness, and create a road map to sustainability. Today the board has taken ownership and leadership to continue our work in the community. Dolph’s work helped assure our mission and community impact for years to come. - Angele Hawkins, former Executive Director New Hope Enterprises |

Thank you Dolph for the motivating and energetic presentation! - Carol Gray, Gray Space Works |
