Clients

  • Our organization set aside a full day with a group of key stakeholders to envision how we might deepen engagement with our 1,600-person alumni network. Carrie created an experience that kept everyone interested, engaged, and thinking in different ways throughout the day. It was seamless and somehow organic, as each activity was shepherded toward something else, without feeling forced. Our staff was able to participate fully and we walked away with real clarity on our strategy, poised to draft a solid plan for our alumni work into the future.

    Emilia Diamant, Chief Program Officer, Avodah

  • Working with Carrie was exactly what I was hoping for but not sure I could find! Her experience as a CEO was a HUGE benefit and it was amazing to see how quickly she jumped in to lead during a time of organizational transition with many unknowns. Carrie often had different questions or perspectives which meant that she was a wonderful thought partner for our strategic planning process. I'm extremely satisfied with the value of the outcomes we received.

    Sarah Eisenman, Friedkin Philanthropies

  • Carrie has been a pleasure to work with through our strategic planning process, carefully understanding the organization and always extremely thoughtful in her questions, documentation, and leading sessions. Our board members and staff had nothing but praise for her work during our retreat and we are excited to continue planning for the future with Carrie leading the process.

    Libby Goldstein Parker, Executive Director, Jewfolk, Inc.

  • Carrie Bornstein is the facilitator your organization needs. With wisdom, insightful exercises/activities and an approachable manner, Carrie took our team on a ’Strategic Planning sprint’ that yielded not just a roadmap for the year ahead but also allowed us to emerge as a more connected team. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

    Dori Frumin Kirshner, Executive Director, Matan, Inc.

  • There's nothing Carrie hasn't navigated, nothing that phases her. I highly recommend working with Carrie for whatever project you might welcome a gifted thought-partner; she's like the backseat driver you WANT to have, cheering you on, offering guidance, always with respectful generosity.

    Ariele Mortkowitz, Executive Director, SVIVAH

  • Carrie expresses herself with great insight and wit, is able to elicit meaningful input, and can frame a problem or question with precision. She understands the effectiveness of collaboration, of what it means to bring her strengths to the table, and to rely on the strengths of others to complement her own.

    Rabbi Andy Vogel, Temple Sinai, Brookline, MA

  • Carrie is by all measures, a superstar. She has excellent intuition; she leads with grace, humor, and curiosity. She's willing to be open and vulnerable. As comes naturally to her, Carrie is transparent. She models women's leadership. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things.

    Aliza Kline, CEO, OneTable

  • I never fail to be impressed by Carrie. She has the ability to truly understand what is important, what is valuable, and who is valued, and marry this together in a way that is forward-thinking, too.

    Sara Shapiro-Plevan, Ed. D., CEO and Founder, The Gender Equity in Hiring Project

  • With Carrie’s help and expert facilitation, our team was able to connect, learn, and think about how we want to carry out Hevreh’s mission and vision. Doing so helped me feel like the luckiest rabbi in the world, to work with these special people, in this magical place, for this incredible Jewish community.

    Rabbi Jodie Gordon, Hevreh of Southern Berkshire
