"I have had the pleasure of working with Renée Hartleib in various capacities for several years, and I hope to work with her for several more. Renée is an exceptional professional. She thinks strategically about the big picture and she is mindful of all of the essential details. Her writing is a perfect blend of creativity and authentic, respectful storytelling. In Renée I have found a consultant who delivers excellent work, always with a consistently positive, self-assured disposition. I trust her instincts, her talents, and her ethics. And I trust her to represent the IWK Health Centre Foundation, and the values we hold high." Sara Napier, Director, Marketing & Communications, IWK Health Centre Foundation "It is a pleasure to work with Renée: not only because she's intuitive and creative, but because her sense of humour and pleasant disposition bring a calming effect to the project at hand. Hands-down, Renée is one of the best in the business." Ian Murray, Director, Office of Alumni and Donor Relations, Dalhousie University "Renee was a pleasure to work with on our annual report. She was able to carefully craft a tone that balanced the various sides of the issues being discussed. Her final product was clear, concise and meaningful - exactly what we were looking for. She made the entire process so easy and she was so efficient. I would not hesitate to work with her again!" Marah Haywood, Green Plan Coordinator, Nova Scotia Environment "One of Renee's major strengths is an ability to absorb vast amounts of information, research and data, and synthesize it into polished prose. She gallops past the learning curve in no time, delivering copy that is clear, authoritative and engaging. An avid learner, Renee seems genuinely interested in all of her assignments - and it shows in her writing." Gina Brown, Director, Marketing and Communications, Nova Scotia Community College "At the end of a three-year Health Canada initiative, involving seventeen Canadian medical schools, we required someone who was a quick study so that all the information and research findings from this national project could be synthesized and compiled into a final report. Renée Hartleib was highly recommended to our steering committee and we decided to engage her to lead this final step in our project. She was amazing in her ability to take three years of work at seventeen medical schools and put together a document that captured the essence of the project. I would highly recommend Renée to any organization that requires someone who demonstrates the highest professional standards, immense versatility, and outstanding commitment to a project." Dr. Denise Buote, Research Director, UBC Faculty of Medicine, Continuing Professional Development and Knowledge Translation "In the early stages of planning for our Pathways for People Framework for Action document, we knew that it couldn't be a typical, dry government publication - it had to be easy to read and engaging for a wide variety of readers. My experience working with Renée on the framework was so easy. Her passion and interest in her work, and the topic, came through in a document that is well researched, relevant, and vibrant. If you're looking for a writer/researcher who grasps things quickly, sees and makes relevant connections, and can write to a diverse audience, then I give Renée my highest recommendation." Jody Conrad, Outdoor Recreation Consultant, Nova Scotia Department of Health Promotion and Protection "Whenever I work with Renee she becomes an essential part of the project team. She takes the time to learn about an organization's values and ensures her writing reflects them. She is highly dependable, always meets tight deadlines and demonstrates tremendous flexibility. She is passionate and inquisitive and dives into new work with confidence and enthusiasm. Perhaps most importantly, Renee has a knack with people - she treats her interviewees with respect always, but also knows when humour or a gentle touch is required." Carla Adams, Media & Communications Officer, IWK Health Centre Foundation "One of my more challenging tasks as a freelance writer arose, surprisingly, from the decision to retire. A major client, with whom I had enjoyed a long and positive history, deserved nothing but the best-of course-as a replacement! After months of disappointing test runs with potential candidates, a colleague introduced Renée. Versatile, intuitive, and a fast study, she quickly proved to be equally comfortable taking the lead on a project or working as part of a team. An inquisitive mind, sensitivity, and a keen eye for the less obvious enable Renée to uncover the heart of a story or capture the essence of an interviewee. We are thrilled to have found a fine writer and an altogether delightful person." Paddy Muir, Corporate Writer, The Shaw Group, Halifax "Many thanks for all your hard work on our Student Success 2008 publication. In a very short time frame you helped pull together an incredible round of stories. I also really appreciated the time you took to meet with our graphic design students to share your ideas, enabling them to personalize a design approach for each story." Erin McDonah, Manager, Marketing Services, Nova Scotia Community College "Renee: I've just had the opportunity to read the profiles you've written for our Board members. They are terrific - you are bang on! These are way above my expectations. I have to say I shed a tear as I was reading them. Thanks Renee, you have really captured the spirit of the Board members - well done!" Carol Fox, Executive Assistant to the President & Secretary to the Board of Governors, Nova Scotia Community College, Halifax |
