Facilitation & Training Services
Hi Karen. I wanted to thank you again for doing the session at our staff retreat. I thought the session was fun and enjoyable and we all learned things about ourselves and others which is a great takeaway for developing our working relationships. I mentioned to our Human Resources Department that we were pleased and to recommend you to other groups at the university.

I have used Karen for leadership development and she was so effective, I had her back to train our 40 staff members on several occasions in the last year. Her analysis of our unique needs, then her customized workshop design, and firm, but friendly facilitation, was exactly what we needed to shift our culture forward. Everyone is calmer now and there is a common language as we move together.

Wow! You are fabulous! I really enjoyed having you work with us. You were so thoughtful, intuitive, and gentle with us. The group really enjoyed your presence and I felt like we all had some sense of hope and that we were capable of handling whatever comes our way. I look forward to future work with you and thank you so much for committing to and working with us. You are the best facilitator ever! Typically we're challenging to facilitate and you got us all thinking! Anyway I don’t know what else to say about you without sounding all gushy, but I do want to extend my deep gratitude and appreciation.

Karen’s session was perfectly suited to our team building objectives to create and nurture an evolving new culture at Momentum Conferencing, exceeding our expectations. The interactive and experiential segments not only accelerated each individual’s confidence and trust in their team members abilities, but promoted interaction and thinking and working as a team; time and money very well spent!

Thank you for hosting a wonderful workshop- you did an awesome job. Your content design was perfectly suited to the topic at hand and met my expectations wonderfully. You led my team through a discovery process and the experiential segments not only accelerated learning but promoted thinking out of the box (a crucial skill in these times) as well as supported building teamwork. Your workshop was exactly what I was hoping for. I look forward to partnering with you again and in the meantime, I plan on sharing the successful outcome with my colleagues.

As usual you put together a fantastic program. I REALLY appreciate all the energy and creativity you injected into our team. We’ve maintained team unity and are striving to support the culture. Quebec became a massive breakthrough! When I toured Rimouski, they were still focused and energized. Subsequent developments were supported by the union!

What a transformation our national team went through! I couldn’t believe the difference in them from before your workshop; our national culture seems more palpable now. This work on creating culture would be beneficial to everyone at TELUS Mobility.

Thank you for your presentation- your content was very congruent with our aims. We have had a number of staff thank us for our efforts toward building our Finance Department and describe how much they got out of the day. The IT Department was right about you...it is obvious you are doing what you love, which explains why you are good at it. Thanks again from both of our departments.

I have great admiration for Karen's excellent skills. Last month she facilitated an excellent Strategic Planning session for the Surrey Women's Centre. Our team found her to be an extremley well organized and effective facilitator. She was very friendly yet also very structured to keep us all on track with the agenda. She is skilled in making everyone's voice count. She was exactly what our team needed. She thoughtfully builds in interactive and experiential activities and encourages group interaction. Our team is so pleased with her that we are getting her on board again for our Team Building day later this month! I recommend Karen for anyone planning to do a strategic planning or team building day.
