·Dallase Scott

·I am the proud founder and principal of Trust.

·It is easy to be driven exclusively by a fixed goal or destination. We become obsessed with checking the boxes, reaching the organizational metrics, delivering the product. As a long time strategic planner for colleges and universities, mission-driven organizations, and for-profit entities alike, I have often seen well-meaning teams hinder their own good work by only focusing on the end goal and not examining their pathway to success.

·Trust is about how we choose to work together in a healthy, productive, and honest way; about where we want to be when goals are reached, and fostering the lasting relationships necessary for the interdependencies of mission-driven work. Welcome to Trust! Let's Connect

• ·- Meghan Fay Zahniser, Executive Director, Association for the Advancement of Higher Education

·"Working with Trust is fun, engaging, and provides tremendous value. Dallase is a thoughtful leader who can easily adapt to changing circumstances."

• ·Lindsey Kalkbrenner, Director, Center for Sustainability, Santa Clara University

·"We hired Trust to guide us through a complicated, inclusive, and transparent strategic planning process. An unexpected benefit in working with Trust was the skills, methods, and thought processes Dallase showed my team and me that will help us on every project we will undertake in the future. Game changing."

• ·- Sandra Goldmark, Associate Dean for Interdisciplinary Engagement, Columbia Climate School & Professor of Professional Practice, Barnard College

·"Since partnering with Trust, I've been able to create workshops and processes within my organization to gather input from diverse stakeholders. I've been able to build an effective change management program. And I've grown and developed myself as a facilitator and a leader."

• ·- John Cleveland, Senior Advisor, Boston Green Ribbon Commission

·"Dallase has brought a unique combination of talents to this work - strong technical expertise; great process and project management skills; and very artful and engaging facilitation - not to mention a great sense of humor! You usually don't get all these skills in the same consultant. She has significantly accelerated our work and we wouldn't be where we are without her help."

• ·- Jessica Berry, Director for the Office of Sustainability, Brown University

·"I think that I can best speak to the high-value Dallase has provided in the facilitation of projects that are high profile and require delicate stakeholder engagement. Having Dallase support initiative development that required multiple layers of stakeholders, with varying priorities and visions, was instrumental in ensuring the collaborative approach and buy-in required to make implementation and operations successful."

• ·- Yancey Fouché, MS, ISSP-SA Director of Sustainability, Davidson College

·"When my college sustainability internship program needed to quickly pivot from in-person to remote experiences as COVID- 19 escalated, Dallase came on board as a key partner in a successful transition. My experience with her as the program administrator was that of a clear communicator, a creative thinker, and someone who leveraged her own diverse experiences and understanding of the human psyche to understand and execute on my goals for the program. She helped to transform what might otherwise have been isolated work projects into a shared experience of teamwork and community."

• ·- Catherine Corson Leslie & Sarah Miller, Director of the Miller Worley Center for the Environment

·"Thank you again for all of your amazing work on this project. Everyone was very complimentary of your value at the retreat, and really appreciated the balance you struck between pushing us along and letting issues air."

• ·Sustainability Director, Office of Climate and Sustainability, Duke University

·"Trust's organized process and yet customized approach to engaging with our team was a really great balance. It has allowed us to both take advantage of pre-developed tools and yet create solutions that are unique to our organization."
