“I had the pleasure of working with Ty Smith on multiple occasions as we built the CEE Centre for Young Black Professionals. At our founding, his expertise in facilitation and a high degree of emotional intelligence helped us bring together a team with divergent views around an initial strategic plan. Then he helped lay a foundation for our programs by developing our first Program Design Manual. He set up a key plank for our HR systems by developing a framework for performance management. Then finally he came back 4 years later to help facilitate a day session to build better and deeper connections with a key program partner. As a facilitator, Ty is funny, engaging, and very nuanced in his approach. His writing and creation of documents are rigorous, yet they are very accessible for readers. And his mind for strategy and specifically the realities of work in the non-profit sector is top-notch. Always a pleasure to work with!”
— Kofi Hope, former ED of the CEE Centre for Young Black Professionals
