J. Vena, Manager, Compensation at EDC
“Lisa is an excellent team facilitator with a keen eye for detail and great communication skills. During my time at Queen's, which has an extremely demanding team environment, Lisa was our team facilitator.There were several times we turned to her to resolve outstanding team issues and found her extremely proactive. She was instrumental in setting up the team structure that we followed and also fine-tuning it as and when needed. She is well versed in the various techniques of team coordination and her skill was evident in the interactions we had with her and her quick resolution to seemingly intractable disputes. I would strongly recommend Lisa for any team facilitation or group activity.”
S. Hota, Manager, Consulting at PricewaterhouseCoopers
“I remember Lisa for her ability to successfully manage conflicts in very diverse teams such as ours. She is adept at diffusing tensions in a team, calming down emotions in intense working environments and instilling positive energy in teams.”
V. Gudipati, Sr. Manager, Application Services, CIBC
“Lisa is a patient and thorough facilitator who shares her expertise and experience in the area of team moderation in a way that is non-threatening and impartial. By encouraging the utilization of best practice, teams facilitated by Lisa achieve optimal results. Any team would benefit from Lisa's help.”
G. Marshall, Process Consultant at 3M Canada
“Lisa helped our team work past our conflicts without telling us exactly what to do - she gave us the right tips to figure it out on our own which made the learning stick!”
K. Nassar, Project Manager Business Intelligence at Air Liquide
“The external and internal pressure of the one year MBA program combined with my heavy lifting for the team had left me hollow and exhausted down the home stretch. I needed help to find strength and motivation to stay on track and see the light at the end of the tunnel as more than the headlight of the oncoming train. Lisa helped me regroup, refocus and rethink how to pick myself up and keep going. She came through for me by reaching in and showing me what I had inside to work with. Lisa got me to the finish line with a place on the podium.”
M. Clayton, P.Eng. MBA CMA - Finance / IT / Marketing - Ideas / Strategy / Design
“Lisa worked with my MBA team as its facilitator; she helped our team work through its ground rules; she was committed to our success; she followed up as expected, and beyond that, took a personal interest in the members of our team. One of the reasons for the success of our team was the work done by Lisa. I unhesitatingly recommend Lisa as a facilitator and coach.”
M. Ostensen, MBA
“Lisa is an excellent team facilitator, with strong expertise in building team camaraderie and resolving team conflicts. She helped us in setting the team's vision, creating ground rules, and then followed up regularly to ensure that team standards are met. She is committed to the success of her teams, and will even go beyond the requirements of her position to personally and professionally help her clients. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa as a facilitator and coach.”
J. Kaur, MBA
“Lisa delivered a very interesting, exciting, infomative and participative workshop for CSTD members and friends on coaching. We had the opportunity to all be active participants in a coaching session. Lisa was able to get the entire group up and moving and learning together and from each other and about themselves. Great job!”
D. Bellamy, CSTD
“I first met Lisa at a Women in Business Retreat; included in the event was a session with Lisa to aid in business and personal goal planning. I was amazed at Lisa's ability to listen and instinctively interpret your thoughts. I left the meeting feeling inspired and energized. I have hired Lisa several times. When I find myself struggling to clarify a vision of the future for my business, Lisa helps me create a plan to reach my goals.”
