Whiton House Recognition


“Whiton House took great care to first appreciate our company’s very unique position in a competitive retail environment. They then carefully assisted our board and management staff to develop an all encompassing recruitment and development program. They truly have helped to ensure the continuation of our culture for a successful future.”

Forward Janesville is a 500-member business association and community development organization. Our Board of Directors engaged Oakleigh Ryan from Whiton House Consulting to develop and orchestrate a comprehensive strategic planning process in 2018. Oakleigh was a pleasure to work with and the Board is very pleased with the final Strategic Opportunities Plan that will guide our organization into the future. Having a fresh set of eyes look at our organization was important but so was having an experienced facilitator walk us through the process.

John Beckord, President, Forward Janesville


“Oakleigh always brings insight and new ideas, helping me as a CEO think through the major issues facing our organizations. At the same time she is a gifted coach working with leaders to develop new skills and capabilities. Her impact has been significant.”

“Oakleigh Ryan from Whiton House Consulting brings a wide array of skills and experience to the task of cultivating alignment among the various entities involved in the AriseNow project. With partners from the public sector, the non-profit community, and private sector, Oakleigh has helped us bridge the gaps and connect the dots to make our multi-year project a success. She helped us understand that we have far more in common than what might separate us.”
