“I’ve had the privilege of working with New Line Consultants for over 20 years during my service with the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service. As a line officer leading high-performing teams, their tailored sessions were transformative—spanning leadership development, seamless transition sessions into new roles, and strategic planning that delivered truly transformational results.

Over the decades, New Line’s facilitators consistently demonstrated deep expertise in leadership development, strategic planning, and team building—the very offerings at the core of their practice since the 1990s. They crafted strategic action planning sessions that not only output detailed plans, but also energized hearts and minds to implement change—a hallmark of their human-centered methodology.

What sets them apart is adaptability: more recently, they repurposed one of their longstanding preplanning exercises by taking elements from “Table Top Exercises” — held by federal agencies that respond to natural disasters, and created their new offering — NextStorm — to help the Yosemite Conservancy navigate today’s volatile and uncertain landscape within national parks and nonprofit settings. Their capacity to pivot and apply proven frameworks in a new context has been invaluable.

If you're seeking thought-provoking facilitators who bring out the best in your team—and in you as a leader—I strongly endorse New Line Consulting.”

  • “New Line’s breakthrough approach to strategic planning has been the impetus to shift our culture to greater adaptability and accountability. In less than a year there were already marked improvements in efficiency, collaboration, and decision-making. I’m excited by what I see.”

    Bob Morrison Former President / CEO, Morrison-Maierle

  • “New Line helped us strategically re-orient our company of almost 10,000 employees and shift our focus from domestic to export markets. This involved a dramatic re-structuring of our business that, with help from New Line, was accomplished much more quickly than we would have thought possible. Not only did these changes have a dramatic effect on our profitability, the way they were handled brought a wave of enthusiasm and unity among our key staff.”

  • “The work I did with a New Line coach during a period of soul searching and transition was instrumental in creating a new career direction with deeper authenticity and a greater sense of purpose. For executives looking to bring heart, creativity, and new insight to their work, I highly recommend New Line.”

  • New Line brings to strategic planning and leadership development a kind of wisdom and clarity that is incredibly rare — a true gift. Especially in these times of transformation and uncertainty, New Line's focus on people — the alchemy of individuals working toward a shared vision — feels invaluable. From personalized coaching to institutional planning, New Line brings both big vision and operational tools to create real impact.

    Rebecca Lendl Executive Director of the Long Now Foundation

  • “For years to come, most of our senior leadership will refer to the tools they learned in their experience with New Line. We are sold on the fact that good leadership and satisfied employees reap good quality care and thus satisfied customers. And we have data to prove it. After a year of incorporating the values and tools by New Line, our employee satisfaction surveys have increased by over 20% in the key areas we wanted to address and we anticipate making a profit in a year we had budgeted for a loss. That’s what we created with the tools we learned from New Line.”

    Martha Carlson CFO | Drew Memorial Hospital

  • “New Line consultants have a remarkable ability to produce breakthroughs in individuals and groups. They have helped our companies with strategy, sales, communication, and teamwork, but their greatest gift is an intuition about what people need in order to communicate and to lead at new levels.”

    Nathan Pera III Founder | Environmental Testing and Consulting

  • “What I feel is unique about New Line as a firm is your combination of deep insight into the way human beings function and highly practical business tools for improving quality and efficiency. As a psychologist, I appreciate the former; as an administrator, I depend upon the latter.”
