"...not only fun, but very enlightening"

"This was not only fun, but very enlightening. I believe all work groups/companies should go through this phenomenal exercise.

Great first step to team building. Would recommend this course.

Great Job! Meriel's exercises present a great opportunity for better understanding the points of view with other colleagues and peers.

Learned quite a bit about co-workers - made me understand them better."

Various departments, CIBC

"...thorough attention to detail"

"Barbara and Meriel did a very professional job of researching, developing and implementing a strategic business plan for our organization. We trust their thorough attention to detail, as reflected in regular reports and follow ups. There were no 'surprises', thanks to their ability to manage their own work and that of the other suppliers involved in this project."

R Shea, GPO Network

"...a tremendous resource"

"Barbara has been a tremendous resource to the Board of Directors and Staff of our Foundation over the past 6 years. With her experience in Board Governance and Human Resources consulting, Barbara has lead strategic planning sessions, developed Policies & Procedures, and updated our Constitution and Bylaws.

Her guidance in the recruitment of staff, issues and performance management, has been most beneficial. Barbara is extremely knowledgeable about organizational management and is very much a strategic thinker. We greatly appreciate the contribution she has made to reaching our objectives."

J Gaspar, Mississauga Heritage Foundation

"...built a high level of trust and credibility"

Barbara was contacted by Graham Packaging to manage the Human Resources function, including Health and Safety, for a 130-worker unionized plant: she reported to me in my capacity as Plant Manager. Barbara worked in a thorough and professional manner to review the status of a range of programs and labor relations issues, and quickly prioritized, addressed and documented various planning, benefits, training, WSIB and communications initiatives.

Through her openness and timely follow-through on commitments, Barbara built a high level of trust and credibility with senior management, union leaders and workers. When the difficult decision was made to close down our Canadian plant near Toronto, she created an effective employee support process to help minimize workplace stress, maintain productivity, and provide leads for many workers for new jobs in the area.

Announcing a plant closing, and then continuing to produce a product for four months, is a difficult environment for both salary and hourly personnel. The advice and counsel from Barbara was invaluable to me.
