  • Central Pennsylvania Food Bank


    “We brought Wilson500 on as a consultant when they first opened and have used Corinna as a valued extension of our leadership team on a range of projects, including strategic planning, project management, coalition building, and management coach for ourselves and our partners. She is the face of the Hunger-Free Lancaster County community coalition and serves as an amazing resource for our staff, board, partners, and me.”

  • De Bono Course in Creativity


    It’s past time to move beyond the limits of yes/no thinking. Our current logic system is more than 2,000 years old. And while it is a good way of coming to right/wrong answers, it is becoming increasingly obvious that it is inadequate as a way of producing new ideas. The de Bono thinking tools offer a different way, and are used around the world on a daily basis to help thousands of corporate, government, nonprofit and faith-based teams. The tools work by separating our thinking process into six distinct disciplines, and require us to consider each independently and rigorously. Working in parallel instead of in the traditional adversarial dynamic, we identify what we know and need to know, our feelings, our new ideas, and where we should be cautious – all in the development of an organized, next-step approach. They ask us to build on and strengthen the best ideas, not necessarily those offered by the most powerful participants or the easiest ones to achieve.

    “I was fresh out of state government when I took the helm of the Pennsylvania Workforce Development Association, a trade association serving as the voice of the Pennsylvania workforce development system. I brought Corinna on as a consultant and worked with her for four years. She coached me to success as an association manager, and helped develop our board of directors into a high performing leadership team. She trained us in Six Thinking Hats, a tool we now use all the time in our day-to-day and long term work at every level of the organization.”

Client Testimonials

Feeding Pennsylvania, Jane Clements, former President and CEO:

“During my leadership at Feeding PA, we called on Corinna for so many, different things. She coached me and my staff on association management matters, trained my team in Six Thinking Hats, developed requests for proposals and managed the process to select the successful bidder, and facilitated two rounds of strategic planning for our board of directors.”

United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Judge Jennifer P. Wilson​, United States Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania​:

“When the Court was planning our new courthouse on Sixth Street, we wanted to include in the lobby a video installation about Judge Sylvia H. Rambo, after whom the courthouse is named. We knew that we needed a professional interviewer to work with our videographers and Corinna was the obvious choice, given the fact that she is an experienced lawyer, has a long history of serious public affairs television, and is well known to the Court for her many trainings and panels she has done over the years. Judge Rambo was very comfortable with Corinna, and the resulting video is priceless.”

Buchanan Public Relations, Anne Buchanan, Founder and President: 

“Buchanan Public Relations and Wilson500 have had a collaborative relationship for several years. Our firms partner easily as needed to better serve our respective clients. Corinna  has become part of our core public relations team, and we rely on her state government and public policy expertise.”

Capitol All-Stars Charitable Softball Game, Senator Jay Costa, Democratic Leader of the Pennsylvania Senate:

“I have served as the co-captain of the Yinz Team from the very first game in 2013, and commend Corinna and her partner in the game, Lynn Deary, for what they have accomplished with it. Through this bi-partisan game that is played by House members and  Senators, Republicans and Democrats, men and women, we have raised almost $450,000 for Feeding Pennsylvania and Hunger-Free Pennsylvania, money that goes into every single legislative district in all 67 counties of the Commonwealth. The game is one of the highlights of the year for legislators and is a needed reminder of why we ran for office in the first place.”

Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, Jeff Garis, Federal Campaigns and Program Director:

“Our initial interactions with Corinna were in her role as vice president of programming at the Pennsylvania Cable Network, and we were impressed with her engaging demeanor, on-air hosting, panel facilitation, and debate moderation. When she launched Wilson500, we engaged her to moderate our legislative panel discussion at our annual advocacy conference in Harrisburg, a role that she continues to fill after nearly a decade. State lawmakers are comfortable with Corinna as the moderator, and our members appreciate her firm but understated style that creates a respectful and productive environment for dialogue.”

First Fruits Farm, Richard M. Bernstein, Executive Director:

“Corinna came to us through our distribution partner, the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. It is impossible to list the things the firm has helped us with – she even served as our interim chief operating officer while recruiting candidates for that job. With her constant support at the board level, we have been able to raise more than $4 million to purchase a 250-acre farm, and moved from an all-volunteer environment to a paid staff of 11 today. Our projected harvest this year is approaching three million pounds of produce for people in need and Corinna has become an integral part of our faith-based mission and ministry.”

Widener University Commonwealth Law School, Professor Christian A. Johnson, former dean of the law school:

“The law school had engaged Corinna to develop a community engagement plan for me so I could hit the ground running when I arrived in Harrisburg as the new dean of the law school. She identified who I needed to meet, where I needed to go, and together over the next five years, we developed several programs to help build the law school’s brand in the mid-state, including a veteran’s initiative and an emergency medical services symposium.”

Team Pennsylvania, Abby Smith, President:

“We work with the highest levels of business and government, and we trust Wilson500 to deliver at the highest levels.”
