Discover & Unleash Your
Inner Potential

I really enjoyed your presentation last Thursday, it was truly one of the best courses I have taken in the last 20 years.

On behalf of the Local Government Management Association of British Columbia's Thompson Okanagan Chapter, I would like to thank you for your informative and entertaining presentation at the Chapter Conference. Understanding some of the fundamental differences in attitude and expectations of the different generations is an excellent tool for enhancing success in the workplace and something local governments must be aware of. Your passion for the subject was evident during your presentation and the tips and information you provided will no doubt benefit all of us down the road. Thank you for sharing your time and your knowledge with us.

* I learned the differences between being a manager and being a leader. I now understand our our personalities relate to each other and how I can improve releationships. *Setting goals and being goal oriented is something I need to implement to become more effective. I realize the value of 'Gen Y's' to the workplace and I will start thinking of how I can make them part of the team. *I am more comfortable now in being direct with my boss and talking about where I want to be. This will help me open up the line of communication. *Now that I understand the different personalities and values of others, I will be more effective with my communication with fellow employees. *I realize I need to deal with people better as a leader in this company. *I liked and learned lots of new information regarding the personal assessment. How to deal with the way I am and how others work is invaluable. I enjoyed learning about the differences in the generations and how each one thinks, works, communicates, and why they are the way they are. *This will make me a better supervisor and how to deal with other generations of people. It helped me identify my weaknesses and positive things about my self and how to do better in life and at work. *It was good to see how to relate to others with different personality traits and see how they aproach conversations differently. This helps me with confrontation. It was also very interesting how a few questions could show such an accurate personality statement. * This will help me communicate better with people, and to control my emotions when faced with confrontation and conflict. It has given me some tools I need to make myself a better leader.

The Dynamic Leadership Skills session really helped me. I can see this awareness of myself and others 'thinking style' help me as a leader, parent, wife, and teacher.

The presentation on Leadership Skills was direct and informative. I liked the openess of the seminar and the chance for discussions all along the way. The Managing Generational Differences session was very detailed and to the point, lots of great information. It was easy to follow and the presentation was helpul to me.

The Dynamic Leadership Skills session was great. It was interactive, provided good information and there were lots of personal stories to 'show the picture'.

The Leadership Skills seminar was very upbeat and informative. I appreciated being able to share information and hear from others as well. Excellent interaction!

The Dynamic Leadership Skills session was inspiring and provided confirmation of my ideals! The Managing Generational Differences seminar is a great tool for managers. It was very eye opening in respect to perceptions and values. Thank you!!!
