Northlands college, President

Just wanted to express my gratitude once again for your work with us yesterday.  I have heard great reviews from the board and we feel very equipped for whatever next year brings.  Take care and we’ll talk soon!

Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh

President and CEO, Parkland & Cumberland College

Thank you for coming to share your thoughts on futureproofing to the staff of Parkland. Your presentation was stimulating and staff were challenged to “think differently”! Comments I have received indicate they are indeed thinking deeply about thinking differently.

Thank you also for the great start to our start planning session. Everyone was so pleased with the great progress we made and the four pillars.

Colleen Kearney

Vice President, Human Resources, Syncrude canada

I want to thank you for your help, support and flexibility at our session yesterday.  Your charismatic intelligence helped facilitate a great day of positive energy to change our future and support our new leader.  This is my second CEO forum that I have coordinated and I clearly learned that having out outside facilitator of your caliber really helps get people out of their box, think more broadly and be more honest.
