“I met Donna Griggs in the summer of 2012. After a brief meeting I was fairly convinced that she and her ‘change agent’ culture were exactly what we needed! We arranged for her to attend a special called Senior Management Meeting of about 15 folks that were responsible for the Central U.S. Region for our company. The sales results were incredible — we went from selling about $180M per year to selling $2.4B over the next 5 years or $469M per year! The sales growth was incredible but some of the unintended consequences of Donna’s impact were even more amazing!
- Employee turnover dropped to a historically low 5%
- Significant uptick in hiring and especially DEI employees
- Our Midwest Offices were ranked Number 1 four years in a row in the entire U.S. for Skanska (approx. 25 offices)
- We received multiple local community awards — from the Mayor, the Governor, the Business Journal and several local community foundations
Donna’s impact on our business, our employees, our longtime culture and on me and my career was especially profound! She has become a lifelong friend and even though I’ve been retired since 2018, we stay in touch regularly! I would welcome any prospective clients for Donna to feel free to call me for a personal reference and recommendation!”
