    I fully recommend Tanya Frey and Terra Firma Consulting, LLC to any non-profit embarking on the executive search journey. The Executive Search Committee of Communities in Schools Memphis selected Terra Firma as our search partner because of the deep industry knowledge and expertise exhibited by the firm. We were especially impressed by Tanya's commitment to understanding our organizations mission and specific needs as we began the search.

    Tanya helped us scope our need, develop a plan, and execute on that plan ahead of schedule and on budget. I was able to meet with several excellent candidates about the role, and we made a decision and hired exactly the person we needed! We're now working with a fractional HR executive, who has years of experience in organizations large and small, and she has already transformed the way we work at Just City with a plan to do even more to set us up for the future.

    My staff said it was the best retreat yet! Tanya is knowledgeable, and her energy is contagious. She was able to relate and connect to staff leadership and support staff alike. Our strategic planning update and fiscal year goal planning was fun and productive. I would recommend Tanya to facilitate staff and board strategic planning retreats, work sessions and operational planning any day.
