Chantel has been a trusted and valued consultant for our company for years. We are strong advocates for continued leadership training and coaching for our team. Chantel has provided the Dare to Lead training for our leadership group, which has paid off both personally and professionally for Wendt’s leaders. This fall, we are bringing her back to Wendt to work with the Wendt owners group to define strengths and aligned behaviors both individually and as a group. We are looking forward to the experience and leaning into Chantel’s savvy and gracious way of bringing us together to learn and grow. She’s simply the best!

“True North Leadership, led by Chantel Schieffer, embodies three important components of leadership; integrity, empowerment, and communication. With Chantel’s thoughtful direction, our leadership team has been able to step into our role while gaining insight into the spaces around us where we can grow. The lessons we learn about ourselves and our teams allow us to strive to be better than the day before. The journey has been long, but worth it from day one.”

“Chantel is an excellent leadership facilitator. Her expertise and passion for building better teams and cultures was evident in each exercise she led our team through. She encouraged each of us to get outside our comfort zone and we left our leadership retreat more committed to each other, our company, and our communities. I highly recommend!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chantel a couple of times in the last two years, and I find her completely awesome. She is the utmost professional. always prepared and flexible, able to roll with disruptions and interruptions. I find her approach to be challenging and supportive at the same time, so she invites complex thinking and emotional risk taking in ways that really allow participants to dig in and feel comfortable doing so. She embodies the philosophy that she coaches. She’s a gem.”

“It was a sincere pleasure to work with Chantel Schieffer and True North this past year. Chantel led a campus wide engagement process involving representatives of the entire campus. She led multiple focus groups involving faculty, staff, and students, and provided the President with a comprehensive general summary without attribution including themes which formed as a result of the focus groups. I was grateful to her for her excellent work!”
