Dr. Louellen Essex is an outstanding educator and role model. She has been giving a course on Conflict Management to our trainees for more than a decade, and it is always one of our highest ranked sessions. She is interactive with the trainees, capturing their attention and drawing them into discussions of the material presented as well as their own personal experiences. Her style is interactive and thought provoking.

Bobbi S. Pritt, MD, MSc, DTMH, FCAP Professor, Department of Laboratory Medicine and PathologyChair, Division of Clinical Microbiology

In thinking about what I have enjoyed about her presentations over the years, both in new consultant training and in our leadership and management course, it has been the level of interaction. One really gets the sense that she is speaking to you and not an entire room full of people, and I have always been impressed on how she draws people out and makes it entertaining.

Jeffrey L. Winters, MD Professor, Department of Laboratory Medicine and PathologyVice Chair, Division of Transfusion Medicine

As a partner to HGA for well over a decade, Louellen Essex has delivered focused seminars in our seven offices that have enabled architects and engineers to be better leaders, managers and communicators, resulting in improved teamwork and more effective client service.

Louellen served as a consultant to me in merging the men’s and women’s athletics departments at the University of Minnesota. She was very effective in facilitating team development and strategic planning to make the merger successful. I could not be more satisfied with her efforts, assistance and accomplishments.

Joel Maturi Former Director of Athletics University of Minnesota

I have had the pleasure to work with Dr. Louellen Essex in several organizational settings. Most recently, Louellen developed a tool for the Ecumen Board of Trustees to conduct a self-evaluation. Louellen gathered the data, spent time with the Board discussing the results and then facilitated the conversation around setting Board goals. The Board members thought the time was productive, instructive and fun.

Louellen has assisted Ecumen with high-level strategy design, team building and Board work. Regardless of the challenge, she meets it with the highest level of skill and integrity. Any organization will be stronger and more effective with Louellen on the team.

Kathryn Roberts, PhD Former CEO, Ecumen
