| Great
Bottom Line Impact |
Marshall Merrifield
CEO, Clark
|
"My company saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars from an idea that a manager brought
to our attention, which he would never have voiced before going
through DNA's leadership program. Even without that specific
benefit, there is not a better investment I could have made
as CEO during the past year and a half of DNA's working at Clark." |

Ken Kelley
CEO, Founder,
IntraBiotics |
"The payback on our investment in DNA consulting since
late 1998 has been more than ten-fold."

| Focused
on Results |
Glen Younger
COO,

|
"DNA's work is not touchy-feely.
It is very specific, practical, and results oriented, with a
well defined, structured process that allows the work to impact
our day-to-day results." |

Susan Kuruvilla
CFO, Clark
|
"DNA's data-driven approach, customized for us and delivered
in a non-judgmental way, enabled people to let go of things
they had held onto for years. DNA's approach to leadership
development impressed me because it was very practical and
focused on action."

| Data-driven
and Measurable |

"DNA's approach of making the "soft stuff"
quantifiable and measurable helped us make milestones so we
can track our progress as we change and grow."

Ken Kelley
CEO, Founder,
IntraBiotics |
"Working with Drew and Mark, we developed a survey instrument
to baseline measure how we walk the talk of our mission, values,
and guiding principles. I believe it provides a valid measure
of behaviors and trends over time. DNA's analysis of aggregate
data for the officer group has enabled the top team to see
clearly how it is viewed by the rest of the organization."

| Tailored
to the client - not "cookie cutter" |
Marti Haskins
Senior Director
Clinical Affairs,
IntraBiotics
|
"What Drew and Mark do that stands out above other consultants
who did team building in other companies where I've worked
is that they are very willing to adapt their tools to the
needs and culture and language of our organization. That has
made a huge positive difference."

Therese Hymer
Corporate Council
VP Human
Resources, Clark
|
"DNA's approach
has never felt "cookie cutter." My biggest concern
with outside consultants is they come in with answers they have
already figured out, and impose those on clients regardless
of the specific situation. DNA has done the opposite. Drew has
listened very carefully, focused on our needs (not his), and
allowed the truth to develop out of the data." |

| Motivating,
Positive |
Hank Fuchs, M.D.
Vice President
Clinical Affairs,
IntraBiotics |
"The interactions with DNA
consultants are very supportive and nurturing. There is equal
attention to what we do well as to opportunities for improvement.
DNA take the time to understand you as an individual and be
motivating in where you want to take yourself. So it feels motivating,
exciting, important, and fun." |

Marshall Merrifield
CEO, Clark
|
"DNA's is a positive, optimistic
approach to developing senior talent. People have come away
from the one-on-one feedback sessions energized around a specific
action plan. Drew has a unique gift in making people feel like
they have a personal champion in him. As a result of DNA's work
I have a reinvigorated and focused group of senior managers!" |

| Trustworthy
and Caring |
Ken Kelley
CEO, Founder,
IntraBiotics |
"Drew and Mark have established great trust and rapport
at IntraBiotics. They have treated us with great respect,
and they have handled our information with extreme confidentiality.
It is clear how much they care. They are a trusted coach to
me and many of the other senior officers."

| Gets

Kent Thiry

"Drew and Mark were very
skilled at getting my senior executives engaged with sufficient
intensity and comfort to be fully honest. DNA had just the right
balance of structure and customization. And underneath all the
process was the right kind of sincerity and intense listening
necessary to break through to deeper levels of interaction,
and get to the real issues."

| Empowering |
Kent Thiry

"Even though DNA provides
structure for safety and honest communication, they were also
sensitive and flexible to our needs and dynamics in the moment.
Drew and Mark were competent and willing to co-manage the meeting
with me - to let me know if they viewed things going too slowly
or too fast in an unproductive way, and let me as CEO make my
own choice of what risk to take." |

Hank Fuchs, M.D.
Vice President
Clinical Affairs,
IntraBiotics |
"DNA helps you learn how
to harness what is within you to make a big impact on how you
interact in the organization. It is not something DNA does to
you; it is something you do for yourself with their expert assistance.
As a result, we have taken personal responsibility for the change
we want to see." |

"The process Drew employed with us was accepted because
it was methodical, structured, and safe. The promise of confidentiality
and anonymity was honored impeccably, so people were honest
and candid. Drew met people where they were, without judgment."

| Wisdom,
Maturity, Insight, Inspiration |
Ken Kelley
CEO, Founder,

"I am very struck by the wisdom, maturity, and insight
on the part of both Drew and Mark. It is clear they have each
spent time and effort in personal growth work themselves,
and I have found that personally inspiring."
