Tanya (Intersecting Lines) made the retreat planning process smooth and personalized to my team's needs. Retreat planning can be overwhelming and stressful. A full team is dedicating so much time and energy to a day that felt high stakes for our planning committee. Working with Tanya helped ground and focus the planning committee on a strategic, thoughtful, and manageable agenda with strong purpose and outcomes. PA has worked with Tanya on retreat's for 2 years in a row based on her expert thought partnership and facilitation skills.

Intersecting Lines is an ideal partner—thoughtful, committed to racial justice, compassionate, insightful, responsive to feedback. It is such a pleasure and privilege to work with them because their approach to evaluation is grounded in values of equity and a deep appreciation for diverse ways of knowing. I’ve never worked with a team so undaunted by mountains of data, so dedicated to truly hearing all voices and representing as fully as possible people’s truths in all their complexity. Their hard work has yielded invaluable insights that have been critical for helping us better understand the impacts of the work we fund.

We are so much smarter about our own organization because of the time we spent with Intersecting Lines. Tanya's approach to her work is thought, methodical and exacting but it feels fluid, natural and collaborative. Her ability to utilize data and measurement in such an approachable way is very welcoming to the data and measurement novice. The final product deserves a chef's kiss. We now have Intersecting Lines on speed dial.

Dr. Moore is an exceptional speaker and impact evaluator. Her expertise greatly contributed to refining our Theory of Change organization-wide; and as a speaker, she played a crucial role in guiding numerous school board members to develop their personal theories of change, enhancing their focus on impacting student outcomes. I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation.

Tanya was a pleasure to work with as an early stage founder completing my very first strategic plan. Her intentionality, organization, and care shined through everything she did. Because of our partnership we were able to complete our Logic Model, Theory of Change, and a measurement plan which supported our ability to share the impact of our organizations work. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Working with Tanya at Intersecting Lines was such an honor and privilege. Her perspective and skills super-charged the task at hand which was building a theory of change with our diverse partners. Tanya was elegant at all times in her work, able to hold space for all different styles and levels of urgency. Meeting agendas were always created with input from our team, conversations felt spacious (even when time was limited) and Tanya calmly marked our next steps to ensure forward motion. Our theory of change was created in the timeframe and budget we'd hoped, and we were all proud of what we created together. It was a treat to have a highly skilled outsider be so attentive to the unique value of our organization.

Our organization has benefited enormously from working with Tanya at Intersecting Lines for more than three years as facilitator of a grantee network. Tanya is an engaging facilitator, skilled strategist, and an indispensable thought partner. Our project was recently evaluated by a third party, and much of its success was attributed to her work. She is collaborative and flexible with her consulting engagements, and I have referred her several times to other partners looking for strong, equity-minded consultants. Thank you, Tanya!

Tanya was a great facilitator for an important convening where we had to pivot in the middle of the day to raise the heat of the conversation and address underlying issues that needed to be surfaced to ensure collective progress was made. Tanya handled the facilitation and prodding needed at the convening with great care and finesse that allowed a space to be created for productive discussion and resolution.

We loved working with Tanya on our research report featuring how working moms were affected by the COVDI-19 pandemic. Tanya was extremely thoughtful and strategic in her approach, and did a great job of helping us to bring the report together.
