Client Testimonials

 

Engaging with Deep End Talent Strategies has been an absolute game-changer for our organization, Arts for Learning Indiana. We've been working with Shawna for about a year and a half now, and I have to say, she's been a huge asset for our company. Not only is she a total HR pro, but she's also one of the kindest and most empathetic people you'll ever meet. When we first brought Shawna on board to do an HR assessment, we had no idea just how much she and her team would help us grow and improve. In just a year, they've revamped our handbook, helped us with recruiting, fine-tuned our job descriptions, and guided us through tons of policies and procedures. Our team is stronger than ever, thanks to their expertise and support. Their comprehensive list of services, including HR on Demand and the H2L platform, equipped us with valuable resources that continue to help our organization grow and our team thrive. Shawna’s values as an HR professional perfectly align to our organizational values. She helped us foster a culture of growth and cohesion within our team through team-building activities and the application of tools like the Predictive Index. Shawna's passion for her work shines through in every interaction, and her dedication to our success has been evident. I wholeheartedly recommend Shawna Lake and Deep End Talent Strategies to any organization that’s looking for transformative and top-notch HR support and holistic team development.

We greatly appreciate Deep End's expertise in conducting a Predictive Index for our nonprofit. Their empathic style made the process inviting and approachable for our staff. Shawna helped identified ways for us to collaborate more effectively, providing valuable insights on making us a better team.

George Giltner, CEO

TechPoint Foundation For Youth

 

We have really enjoyed working with Lauren for what now is nearly a year. Certifications aside, she is well-versed, experienced, fearless (most important), personable, organized, and driven to succeed. If you're looking for an exemplary, no-nonsense, ready to roll-up-the-sleeves and get busy consultant, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better. She also possesses the technical expertise to get the most out of weak HRIS platforms. In all, she's been a pleasure to work with and is an integral part of making our organization is stronger and more effective and efficient. Five stars isn't adequate.

I had the pleasure of working with Shawna Lake, Founder and Principal Consultant of Deep End Talent Strategies on a rewrite of our US and Canadian handbooks. I must say that she is an outstanding professional with an incredible level of expertise. From the very beginning, she showed an exception level of dedication to her work and a deep understanding of the specific requirements for the US and Canadian markets. Her diligence and willingness to listen to our needs and feedback throughout the process were exemplary. She was always available to answer questions and provide guidance whenever we needed it, and her communication skills were top-notch. Shawna was able to complete the project in a timely and efficient manner, ensuring that we received our handbooks on time and without any issues. Overall, I would highly recommend Shawna and the Deep End Talent Strategies team for anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and efficient partner for their handbook and any other HR needs. She is truly a pleasure to work with and exceeded our expectations in every way.
