What's Been Said about Harriet Cannon
Harriet Cannon is without doubt the most insightful and effective consultant I have had the pleasure of working with in the past fifteen years and is that rare professional who actually deserves to be called wise. Harriet has a mature and balanced understanding of the dynamics at work in the complex systems that make up families, management groups and organizations as a whole. In my experience, she conceptualizes problems quickly and well and then implements interventions that are of great benefit to all involved. She has developed effective programs not only in organizational settings and in substance abuse treatment and prevention, but also for successful overseas deployment and re-entry of employees and families. As if this were not enough, Harriet Cannon is also a delightful human being who is an absolute joy to work with.
As a professional colleague of Harriet Cannon’s for over 25 years, I have only the highest respect and praise for her skill as a therapist. We have worked closely on many treatment cases. Her therapeutic talent and deeply perceptive understanding of people have frequently left me in awe. Harriet is a therapist’s therapist. She is a master at providing her clients with the support and comfort they need to explore difficult emotional terrain while at the same time skillfully guiding them forward. She is an expert when it comes to assisting clients through complex transitions in their lives. In particular, women who work with her as they face the challenges of life changing shifts are extremely fortunate. She is simply the best at what she does.
Harriet Cannon has been an important influence on the growth and development
of our organization, the Bilingual/Bicultural Family Network. Her knowledge
of multicultural families has been a valuable asset and we are honored to
have her share her knowledge with us and families around the world via her
insightful presentations and Ask Harriet column.
Through my conversations with Harriet and while attending her presentations,
I have come to know Harriet to be a kind, genuine and extremely knowledgeable
professional. Her expertise continues to amaze me.
Harriet has also been a personal support for me as our organization has developed. Her guidance has been invaluable and her insights have been extremely motivational. I know I can always count on Harriet to provide me with carefully considered responses and honest interpretations. It is a delight to work with Harriet and I am extremely honored to have the opportunity to benefit from her wisdom and generosity.
We, at the United Montessori Association, train and certify Montessori teachers on six continents and have found Harriet Cannon ’s consultation to be a most valuable benefit to us. Our needs have ranged from dealing with students who, for cultural reasons, have difficulties understanding the rules and boundaries of the training program, to difficult students who need specific limits set, and to students who face emotional issues that would benefit from professional counseling. We have found Harriet Cannon’s expertise to be a strong asset to UMA’s ability to function effectively in a complex multi-cultural, global community.
Harriet Cannon’s reputation in the Seattle community is one of excellence in leadership. She is an inspiring business woman, professional, practical, insightful, and passionate about her work. Personally, I have found Harriet Cannon to be warm, sensitive, and a skilled listener. Her expert consultations have provided the staff at UMA profound insights and understanding of the diverse student population that we work with, individually and collectively. We are very grateful for her services.
Harriet Cannon has a unique perspective on travel. Most of us travel for pleasure. However, Hattie helps travelers, whether they travel for work or pleasure, makes sense of their experiences living and working outside the US. She also helps travelers make a smooth re-entry after extended absences.
With over twenty years of experience in executive coaching, counseling and management consulting, Hattie is extremely effective in assessing relocation risks and developing a plan for individuals and families to mitigate those risks.
Hattie was engaged by Radia to help recruit a highly successful physician from Canada. She effectively supported the individual and his family, as well as Radia, in this complex process.
Harriet Cannon is a person of moral courage and high standards with both personal and professional experience living abroad. She has been helping executives and their families cope with the stresses of expatriate living for over 15 years. She does pre-departure training and career planning, showing a natural ability to help businesses and their employees adjust to doing businesses internationally and living successfully with multiculturalism. She is personable, friendly, fun and relaxed as well as intelligent and assertive. She combines the ability to practically solve problems with the personal charm and warmth of a healer. I highly recommend Harriet Cannon as a consultant to businesses, families and individuals.
Harriet Cannon’s Intercultural Communication class has been the best learning experience of my college career. Her teaching style encouraged me to interact with others and made me feel comfortable discussing my cultural experiences. Harriet's class taught me the importance of effective communication, and more importantly how to utilize communication skills in professional and personal settings. Only after her class do I feel prepared for any situation that may arise in the dynamic world we live in; whether it is in my country of origin-Afghanistan, or another of the near 200 countries of the world.
I have known Harriet Cannon professionally for 20 years. I recommend her
to my fellow executives who are looking to improve their business success
and personal relationships. I have worked with Hattie as a member of
an executive team in two businesses in the 1990’s. Both businesses
were in the health care industry during a challenging era of program and staff
reorganization to which she contributed creative leadership allowing both
businesses to stay competitive.
She is a cutting edge leader who motivates and mentors others. Hattie
has been called “the mystic in a business suit” for her intuitive
and practical solutions to difficult dilemmas. Whereas, I rarely give
an unqualified endorsement, I do so gladly for Hattie Cannon. She
is the best at what she does.
