“John Belaski was utilized in a co-facilitation role to provide balance, objectivity and group process skills for LDP—Leadership Development Process—a training process for development of future leadership in the firm. There have been many testimonials as to the impact LDP had on individuals in their personal lives and on various segments of the firm.  Without question, the level of ownership by John Belaski, along with the character and insight embodied with his prowess as the lead facilitator, are responsible for the impact on the many individuals in the program.”

“In the dictionary, partner is defined as “player on the same side in a game.” In all my dealings with Pondera Advisors they have been business partners in every sense of the word. They work extremely hard at understanding our business, their proposals reflect both what we want and what we need, and they deliver their service exactly as they propose it.  As a smaller organization that is taking on the challenge of growth, it is great to have Pondera as a partner.”

"I have worked with Dave Medema since 2003, and my predecessor worked with him for several years prior to that.  Dave is a capable facilitator and understands the complexity of systems and how people work together.  In his work with The Delta Strategy, he brought his expertise of process facilitation to the table.
 What I appreciate most about Dave is his awareness, understanding and commitment to diversity and inclusion. He realizes that every voice at the table (and especially those who aren't invited to the table) is important, and he works to make sure every perspective is heard.
 Dave is approachable, kind and listens well.  He is always prepared.  Your customers and clients will appreciate his work in strategic planning.  He would be an asset to your consulting list."
