“Lyda is smart, thoughtful, decisive, supportive, respectful, encouraging, appreciative and, perhaps most importantly, a force of nature who gets things done. She provides momentum of the jet propulsion kind. And she listens to critical feedback. A rare and wonderful combination.” Ellen Buckmaster, Principal, Buckmaster Design
“Lyda demonstrates a level of expertise and professionalism that establishes her as an instant asset to any team. She has an uncanny ability to tie concepts into reality with a positive presentation on the management of organizational issues. Her years of public affairs and public relations experience allow her to shape and mold an issue for the public, media and policymakers—at all levels of government. Lyda’s unparalleled work ethic coupled with her deep network of contacts, can take any organization to higher levels of achievement very quickly. Lyda is sharp, concise, professional and genuinely a nice person. I recommend Connections Consulting very highly.” Mark Peppard, DDS
“As consulting colleagues, Lyda and I worked with the board of trustees for a statewide foundation to give them a new direction. We took the board through exercises to create a new mission and vision, create an organizational structure and help them create a strategic plan. Prior to that, I worked with Lyda while I was serving as the Director of the Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation. Lyda is wonderful at searching for ways to bring a variety of different players “to the table” in order to create a dynamic synergy to the project. She is always willing to do what it takes to provide the targeted results!”
Christine Kutnick, CRFE, Development Director, Con Mi Madre and former TDA Smiles Foundation Director, Texas Dental Association
