With expertise in Cooperative Governance demonstrated through facilitating, consulting, educating, and professional speaking, we turn on the light-bulbs of your Board.
“This fall we had the privilege of working with Miranda to develop our strategic plan. Our board and management team were very impressed with how she was able to keep us all engaged. Miranda is energetic and passionate about governance and has a talent for asking the tough questions that need to be asked. We came out of it with a plan that was not cookie cutter, it was authentic, genuine and in our words. This tailored service was exactly what we hoped she would deliver. Crossroads looks forward to working with Miranda in the future.”
Jeff Bisschop, CEO
Williams Lake & District Credit Union
“Hawkeye Strategies has been contracted to do a variety of governance support for our Credit Union over the past several years. One of their most recent engagements was focused on Improving Board Efficacy as we knew we needed third party support and we had trust in Miranda and her team to deliver on it. She was able to effectively evaluate our Board’s gaps through discussion with our Governance Committee, CEO and surveys and was ultimately able to build a customized education program that was delivered in a digestible and entertaining manner. We feel that our Board is better able to meet their fiduciary responsibilities as a result of this work and would strongly recommend Miranda and her team to other Credit Unions.”

Vancity
“I recently participated in a Strategic Planning Session conducted by Miranda. This was a terrific strategic planning session. It began with interviews and 2 pre-session planning meetings. This ensured that the session was tailored to our specific needs and concerns. Miranda was exceptionally well prepared; she demonstrated in depth knowledge of our business and the sector in which we operate. Further, she was an energetic and engaged facilitator. She guided us toward our conclusions with professionalism. She was able to pivot as needed and as a bonus has a wonderful sense of humour. We were exceptionally well served and I would highly recommend her.”
Anita Braha, Chair of Vancity and Vice Chair of Stabilization Central
World Council
“As the Manager of Education & Vendor Engagement at the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), I have had the pleasure of working with Miranda as a speaker at our annual international conference which is one the largest Credit Union conferences offered in the world with average attendance of over 2,000 participants and over 60 countries. Miranda was consistently rated the top speaker out of 50+ speakers, two years in a row! She receives reviews like ‘this was one of the most useful sessions I attended, Miranda was the best presenter, and brilliant session’. She has an incredibly unique way of engaging audiences from all walks of life, including Directors and Executives of Credit Unions that vary in size and complexity. Miranda’s renowned reputation and presentation topics draws people in to see her, and her presentation style gives conference attendees an amazing experience. I would strongly recommend her as a speaker at any conference and cannot wait to have her back to speak to our audience again!”
