“Woody has been an invaluable advisor and solution developer for my Job of the Week website and related sites. He got me up and running not once, but again when my initial service provider discontinued the platform that hosted my sites. His careful examination of the options available to me, and his thoughtful recommendation allowed me to overcome any hesitation I had and got me started on a new and better level of service. And once he had turned over my new site to me, he stayed with me to coach me and assist me with the transition, even when there were matters which required the attention of the provider’s tech support staff. He has my recommendation and my gratitude.”
“I am pleased to endorse Woody Goulart and vouch for his character. While working at the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services Woody Goulart exemplified a high level of integrity and professionalism in all of his interactions at every level within the agency. In performing his duties, he approached his job with a sense of commitment and duty – to engage every employee in a straightforward and honest manner. He was thorough in his fact-finding efforts and he demonstrated clear-eyed understanding of the facts. He worked closely with key staff members of the agency and was able to convey his understanding of the observable and unobservable facts in a meaningful way to those leading the agency. The seriousness in which Woody met the mandates of his contract did not constrain him from sharing his refreshing sense of humor with the COPS staff in lighter moments during the workday. Woody proved himself to be a trustworthy individual,which allowed staff members to feel that their confidential comments would be guarded by his unflinching professional integrity.”
“Working with Woody was a delight. He is a very knowledgeable individual, who has a wide range of diverse experiences that actually accentuates the value of his recommendations. He demonstrated a self-assured leadership style that reflected confidence and humility. Woody’s visionary leadership is a noteworthy quality that is truly needed in launching the 21st Century ideals in the federal workforce. Woody has the capabilities to be an asset to any agency that employs his services. I consider it a rare privilege to have worked with him. It goes without saying; Woody left a lasting impression on the workforce at the COPS Office.”
“Woody leverages his extensive experience and education to bring thought leadership in the development of communications services to his clients. He is well schooled in the traditional business practices of communications consulting, but also adds a dimension of modernism via his knowledge of Internet-based media. Woody is always willing to lend a hand on special projects. In addition, Woody is the consummate gentlemen – he always presents himself with grace and dignity, with a touch of humor added in for good measure – attributes key to any successful team.”
“Woody has exceptional insight and vision to see areas needing improvement and makes those improvements without being tasked. His understanding of the communications field combined with his web development skills, makes him uniquely suited for any strategic communications or marketing company. He is very intelligent, well read and stays informed. He is not pretentious nor self-serving. He has a keen sense of humor and is a strong team member. His work was always on time and at levels higher then expected. He is well suited to lead a team of web developer, writers or editors. He provides the service equal to two professional; as an editor for an Army publication with over 1 millions copies and developing a simple web site into a professional strategic communications platform.”
“Woody has both a strong education and experience in traditional media / public relations plus a complete handle on new media. It is hard to find someone who is such a perfect blend of both, I know because I tried and failed before doing the classic dope slap and remembering my friend Woody Goulart. He not only explained why but showed me how to step in to the modern marketing era. His work has revitalized not only my image but helped reenergize my enthusiasm for what I do each day.”
“I have known Woody since 2000 when he hired me as a bilingual language editor at AARP, with concentration on Spanish text. His imagination for the difficulties and advantages of publishing in Spanish in the United States is remarkable. My experience is that he simply asks the right questions and takes the right decisions. For someone whose native language is English–but is also knowledgeable of Spanish–Woody demonstrates a strong respect for the use of standard, accessible, and correct usage of the Spanish language within the United States. In addition, he is gifted at building healthy and stimulating work relationships. Woody Goulart is very good professional and an excellent human being. I cannot but highly recommend Woody for editorial management of Spanish language content within an English-speaking organization.”
“When I needed to hire a writer, the first person I turned to was Woody. He is an excellent writer, a quick study and a forward thinker. He also has the temperament to work well under pressure and deal comfortably with our top leaders. He is a true professional with the skills, commitment and character to succeed. He is an accomplished professional of the highest character. I highly recommend him.”
“I first got to know Woody Goulart when I was head of Public Relations and Development at a greater Boston community-based hospital. He was starting up the community activities and channel operations for Continental Cablevision, working hard to bring the region quality local programming. His energy and interest in building programming that would benefit, play a key role in and help build the community was enormous. He fearlessly navigated the waters of a fairly parochial community structure, bringing relevance to the work of many different and often disparate groups and organizations. Woody was able to build consensus among leaders and programming that worked to enrich the efforts of these various organizations as well as the lives of the community. He was able to very quickly establish support for his work and became revered within the region.”
“I worked with Woody for 2 years while at Booz Allen Hamilton and he is one of the most professional, hard-working teammates I’ve had the pleasure to work with. We worked on both the Real Warriors Campaign and on a white paper. I witnessed him as a gifted strategic communication thinker with specific talents in crafting messages and in leadership of online channels (new media). He is a self-starter with an intelligent approach to management issues. He’s a true pleasure to work with and consistently delivers the highest-quality products.”
