I have worked with Judy over the years in various capacities, as a board chair, facilitator and peer. Judy's collaborative spirit and enthusiasm for a successful solution helps her meet her client's needs. She is an ethical, honest and direct problem solver. Her ability to keep confidential information to herself yet be a listening ear offering well thought through suggestions, has always been a huge asset to me both personally and professionally. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone ready to meet the challenge ahead. — DeeAnn Richardson, SAFE Harbor Executive Director.
I have had the pleasure of getting to know Judy Preston through multiple local networks. Judy has a knack for speaking to others in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable. She comes across as very genuine and facilitates discussion with ease, sees potential in others, and fosters leadership by asking the right questions and encouraging new perspectives. Whether it's group facilitation or presenting on a variety of topics, from leadership to communication, I would fully endorse Judy as one of the most enjoyable and well-rounded speakers in the Valley. — Whitney Cantlon, CEO, Mission Mountain Enterprises
Judy Preston served as the Human Resource Officer, Board Member, President and Chief Operations Officer at Access Montana. She has demonstrated outstanding talent in her administration of the Company, including an aptitude for conflict resolution. When Judy became President of the Company, we were in drastic need of leadership, which she provided. She quickly analyzed personnel and made the necessary (and sometimes tough) decisions that needed to be made. — Roger Romero, CIO, Access Montana
You are fantastic! Not only did your training inspire introspection, but it helped me see how the organization as a whole can move forward.
– Small Business Owner (Strengths-Based Team Development Training)
Through the Gallup StrengthsFinder online assessment, Judy helped me understand the importance of focusing on my talents instead of dwelling on my shortcomings. She helped me feel comfortable talking about my strengths with coworkers. Simply put, the primary lesson I learned was positivity – spend time focusing on what is right between you and your coworkers and the result is a more productive team environment. – Roxanne Duckworth
