Consulting & Facilitation Testimonials
“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.”

“As CEO of Enterprise Credit Union in Liverpool, England, I want to share the incredible impact Miranda and Mike have had—not just on me, but on our entire credit union here in the UK. When I first heard Miranda speak at a WOCCU conference in Canada, it was like a breath of fresh air. Her passion, enthusiasm, and deep expertise were undeniable—she completely bowled me over! Working with Miranda and Mike since then has been nothing short of transformative. They helped us turn our vision into reality. By translating our business plan objectives into a strategic scorecard, they brought our goals to life and reignited my drive to tackle what once felt like a mammoth task. This approach not only kept our Board focused but also gave them space to reflect on the positives and celebrate the great things we’re achieving. Simply put, Miranda and Mike didn’t just provide a service—they empowered us to thrive.”

“As CEO of Alberta Central, I consider building alignment around the organization’s future to be critical. Properly done, a strategic plan built with good process can serve as a foundational document that guides the organization and keeps it focused. Building such a plan requires engagement from management, the board, and stakeholders. To that end, we hired Miranda Flury to facilitate our strategic planning process, and she was exceptional. Some of the highlights I would note are:
– She skillfully navigated difficult dialogues, keeping the conversation on track while simultaneously ensuring everyone is heard.
– She developed very effective presentations and tools to provoke discussion and land conclusions.
– She demonstrated deep knowledge of not just strategy, but also governance and working with boards.
If you are working through complex strategy discussions, I would recommend reaching out to Miranda to see how she can support you.”

“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.”
– Erik Zwiers, Board Chair
