TESTIMONIALS
"The level of expertise and personal dedication Shipra, Anjali and Greg have brought to me and Building Services Group has enabled us to be a stronger organization ...."
“Building Services Group, a family-owned commercial cleaning company with approximately 400 employees, began working with Strategic Solutions Consulting in 2014 to guide and implement a successful family business transition plan. My father wanted to exit the company he had founded over 30 years earlier and the answers to the questions of how and when had eluded us … for years.
After an initial meeting with Shipra, we immediately knew she understood all of our frustrations and clearly understood the unique dynamics of family business. Shipra, Anjali and Greg helped us prepare and navigate the transition: the founder retiring and really wanting and being able to step aside, new company leadership, long-term employee challenges, family dynamics and company culture. Throughout the transition, I have been left in awe of the power of family business and the absolute importance of proper planning and aligning ourselves with a partner who can guide us through the many challenges.
Shipra, Anjali and Greg worked with us in many different areas of the business, including developing and implementing a company Vision Statement and Core Values, Strategic Planning, Organizational Structure and Executive Coaching, all which were critical to the successful business transition. Since the actual transition in mid-2015, we continue to partner with Strategic Solutions Consulting for ongoing projects related to our Strategic Planning such as, Leadership Development, Employee Assessments, Talent Acquisition Practices, Conflict Management Training and Individual Coaching.
The level of expertise and personal dedication Shipra, Anjali and Greg have brought to me and Building Services Group has enabled us to be a stronger organization with a more unified leadership team and a common purpose and vision. At any time, I would be more than willing to share my experiences working with Strategic Solutions Consulting.”

"Based on our work with Shipra and Anjali, we would very highly recommend them to work with any business or family..."
"We have worked with Shipra Seefeldt for over a year, and with Anjali Seefeldt over the past several months. They have worked with us on the following issues: strategic planning, team building, executive coaching, enhancing communication, resolving conflict, managing change, and issues involving succession and leadership transition.
We feel that Strategic Solutions Consulting has been able to help us in each of these areas and as a result, we are operating as more of a unified team than ever before. In addition, we are able to have some of the difficult conversations that are critical to our long-term success. Shipra and Anjali have very specialized and unique skills to help closely held and family businesses from an ownership, leadership, operations and family standpoint. Based on our work with Shipra and Anjali, we would very highly recommend them to work with any business or family." Dave and Marge Van Handel CEO and President, V & S Midwest Carriers |

"Shipra assisted our company's management team with our strategic planning process and I can recommend her without reservations..."
"Shipra assisted our company's management team with our strategic planning process and I can recommend her without reservations.
I have found Shipra to be honest, straightforward and discreet in her dealings with our management group and she has made a positive impact on our internal strategic planning activity. With Shipra's coaching and assistance, we have developed and communicated an internal strategic plan for our business, and taken positive steps to begin the implementation of our plan. Central to the creation of this plan were the communication methodologies introduced to us by Shipra.
Even when we dealt with topics that could at times be considered very sensitive or emotional, Shipra was able to guide our team with professionalism and resolve.
Without Shipra's knowledge and guidance, we could not have successfully initiated the strategic planning process. Shipra will certainly be an asset for any group with which she associates and works. I can recommend her with complete confidence."

"Seefeldt played a very critical role in the development of this important plan..."
" I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Seefeldt through the summer of 2004 in the development of the Sturgeon Bay Shipbuilding Cluster Master Plan. The resultant plan published in September 2004 will serve as a blueprint for the growth of this industry cluster in our community for years to come. The plan proposes collaboration between two local shipbuilding firms and local governments that will result in the investment of up to $50 million dollars in the upgrade and expansion of the shipyard facilities, the retention of almost 1, 000 jobs and the creation of 600 new jobs. The annual local economic impact of this cluster is projected to increase from $56.4 million to $91 million within the next 5-year period.
In February 2005, Governor Doyle traveled to Sturgeon Bay to announce his proposal to contribute $9.2 million to the $29 million cost of implementing phase one of this plan. Financial support from the federal government is currently under consideration.
Seefeldt played a very critical role in the development of this important plan. She was included on the consultant team because of her strong background and experience in organizational development and stakeholder collaboration.
This turned out to be a very critical element of this project because of numerous and sometimes competing interests of the stakeholders. She successfully engaged the two private firms and the local government officials and through a very personal and skillfully implemented process brought all stakeholders to the common understanding that their personal business interests were better served by working together in a cluster. This was no small task and was the basis for developing the trust that allowed the planning process to be successful.
Ms. Seefeldt has certainly demonstrated her commitment and dedication to helping businesses in Northeast Wisconsin grow and become more successful in the increasingly competitive global economy."

"Shipra was able to help us better understand the problems and develop programs to help our clients transfer their family values to their children..."
"Thankfully after several years of looking for someone we believed could understand the issues our clients face, we came to know Shipra Seefeldt. Shipra is incredibly well educated and experienced in many areas of sociology and psychology. More, she believes in being proactive. That is, identifying better potential problems and working on them now while the parents and children have a good healthy relationship. This makes my job as an investment advisor much easier in the long run. In addition, it increases family wealth, for example, when the family business can stay together and reach new heights rather than self-destructing in family conflict.
Shipra was able to help us better understand the problems and develop programs to help our clients transfer their family values to their children. Shipra also contributes to the community at large, through her direct leadership, involvement, and volunteer efforts in community organizations. However, she also contributed in a less obvious yet much more significant way. Shipra helps to prevent the epidemic of affluenza from disabling and destroying our future community leaders. In a world where families are being pulled apart from all directions, Shipra is a beacon of peace and reconciliation for families. The family is the strength of any community. A time will come when the rest of the world will recognize the extent of this problem. Shipra will then be recognized for her visionary leadership in this field."

"Shipra gets results! I have not hesitated to refer her to clients and even members of my extended family..."
"I have known Shipra for nearly a decade. During that time, we have worked on literally dozens of cases together. All of them involved closely held businesses, and most involved overlaying family issues as well.
I have found her to be thoroughly professional, innovative and a dedicated person to work with. Moreover, she gets results! I have not hesitated to refer her to clients and even members of my extended family. All report that they have benefited from having her assist them resolve their organizational and/or personal situations.
While I have not yet worked directly with Anjali, I have gotten to know her, have heard her make presentations on several occasions, and can safely say that the apple does not fall very far from the tree in her case."
