“We were fortunate to have this (strategic planning) process guided by a top-notch professional firm, Rader Consulting, who is considered the guru for National Governing Bodies and the Olympic movement in the U.S.”

“Kae Rader has provided a level of insight and professionalism for many organizations in the non-profit and for profit environment. Kae’s ability to present, draw out the best ideas from others and synthesize innovative solutions sets her apart and places her above others in the consulting field.”

“Kae is deeply intuitive. She is attentive to organizational cultures and values, and she is a mindful listener. She kept us focused on the issues that mattered and helped us make sense of where we are headed. Kae is especially adept at infusing a disciplined approach with sensitivity to the complex issues and personalities involved. Planning processes often are painful, but with Kae guiding us we were invigorated and ended with a thoughtful direction for the future.”

“Thank you for facilitating our Governance Task Force meeting. You were terrific. Your professionalism and knowledge were responsible for a very successful meeting. I believe we now can move forward with much clarity. It was very productive, thanks again.”

“Kae Rader is a consummate professional and very team-oriented. She is talented and committed to helping others succeed. Her planning skills made her an extremely valuable member of our team, and she enjoys the respect of everyone who has worked with her.”
Scott Blackmun, CEO U.S. Olympic Committee
“It was perfect. Kae was great. The main evaluation criterion is “Did the conference achieve its objectives?” In my estimation this past weekend allowed us to go through a passage…and at the same time begin to identify the team that will carry us into the future. That has happened. We put together small task forces to further focus the key areas identified on the last day. Those assigned to the Task Groups did so with enthusiasm and this will all carry us forward. Neat stuff and it was fun. Kae is a real professional.”
Luke St. Onge, CEO USA National Karate-do Federation
“Kae did a fantastic job planning USA Diving’s board and staff retreat so that she had a great understanding of our organization’s needs well in advance. During the retreat, she kept everyone on task as we discussed key issues and priorities, and did it in a manner that kept everyone involved and cooperative. I would highly recommend Kae as a facilitator for any type of strategic planning meeting. She’s awesome!”
Debbie Hesse, CEO USA Diving, Inc.
“Kae did a great job assisting my staff. I’m not sure anyone else could have pulled it off with the patience and grace that she exhibited and still keep us on task.”
Doug Ingram, Director International Games Preparation Division U.S. Olympic Committee
“Just a quick note to thank you for the great job you did with our Board of Directors last week here at the Olympic Training Center. You did a super job not only keeping them focused, but also interested in the materials and issues presented. I hope to see some great results…in the years to come with our organization thanks to your assistance.”
Jose H. Rodriquez, CEO USA Judo
