Ian helped us tremendously in bringing our
culture into alignment with our
strategic plan. He worked
closely with my Executive Management Committee
on leadership,
teambuilding and how to align their leadership skills with the
direction
of the company. I’ve personally found
Ian’s casual, warm and entertaining style overwhelmingly
successful. I recommend him highly to other companies
looking for someone who can build strong leadership and teamwork
in an organization.
George A. Foegele, President & CEO, Transamerica
(Canada)
I was looking for a professional to help my
group become a high-performing ‘out
of the box’ executive team. Ian brings home the truth that there
is no organizational transformation until there is serious personal
transformation.
Mike Stephen, former Chairman, Aetna International
I have never seen the total audience embrace a speaker as they did you.
J. Ferguson, Promus Hotel Corporation
You held an entire room of 1,200 Association
leaders totally captivated! That is a rare gift indeed.”
Laura Missitzis, National Association of Realtors
Our times call not for the kind of leadership
based on scientific formula, but for leadership that demonstrates
a power of spirit.
Something that comes from the gut, the heart. It is intuitive leadership,
as Ian suggests, that tells you how and when to seize the opportunity. It’s opportunity that
gives the power.
Jon Madonna, former Vice Chair, Travelers Group and
former
Chairman KPMG International
There aren't many speakers who really immerse
themselves with the people. Most fly in, talk, fly out. Your are
very special and our members really appreciated your wisdom.
Ron
MacDonald, Society of Financial Service Professionals
Ian, your talk was superb. Everyone was impressed
with your insights and ability
to express yourself on difficult
issues so that everyone was able to easily
understand. You’ve
made a significant contribution to our culture.
Larry Pike, Chairman, Union Central Insurance
You inspired our audience and touched their
sensitivity like no others. You taught
us how to recapture our
spirit. You exceeded my expectations by an order of magnitude – and
I already had high expectations.
Dr. Richard Shinar, PCS HealthSystems
You were fantastic – my hero! Thank
you for the energy and insights, the session was extremely well
received!
Joe Austin, COO, Microsoft Services Worldwide
I have never seen such a dramatic and refreshing
response from this client in my entire history of working with
them. You achieved something I didn’t
think could
be done. You replaced the fear I have witnessed with love and
hope.
Cindy Williamson, Meeting Planner, Coopers & Williamson
Thank you! Thank you! How can I express my gratitude to you? Through your inspiring
teaching and coaching you led us through an exploration of what it means
to participate in life. Not only did you help shock us into a new awareness,
you did it with laughter, love and insight.
Kay Lowries, Director of Marketing, Royal Trust
Ian’s challenge to (the Board of Directors)
was to remember that out beyond
success, either personal or business,
is being meaningful and significant to others. That workshop probably
stimulated more comment and more positive response
than any other
we have had in recent years. I’ve found myself wishing I
had kept count of the remarks made to me following his presentation,
confirming he had succeeded in touching us at a truly genuine level.
C. T. Fredrickson, former President and CEO, AgriBank
Just a note of appreciation for your excellent
presentation at our President’s
Council meeting. It’s
been a long time and many meetings have passed since I’ve
witnessed virtually everyone in attendance stand in line to shake
the speaker’s
hand. Obviously your message hit home.
R. J. Guilday, Vice-President & Director, Scotia
McLeod
Thank you for sharing your insights and excellent
facilitation skills with us at our retreat. Your personal style,
combined with a touch of humor made a striking impact. Consensus
indicates the day was extremely uplifting for individuals and the
team as a whole. You have stimulated us to ‘move our markers
to new heights’.
Karen Regier, University Hospital
You did a wonderful job keeping our group’s
absolute attention for almost three hours. You certainly touched
everyone; your message was provocative, humorous and above all
relevant.
Joe Scott, Vice-President, Manulife Financial
Thank you for the outstanding day you facilitated
at our Leadership Summit. The day was extremely valuable to all
the participants on a professional and personal level. This is
the third opportunity we’ve had to work together and you
continually surpass expectations. You are a delight to work with.
Lynda Somerton, Vice-President, Telus Mobility
Thank you for sharing your message at the Avera
Health Leadership Conference. Various facets of health care have
experienced many challenges and changes over the past few years
and your comments were very applicable and much appreciated. Thank you too for taking the time to get to know
Avera Health prior to your resentation.
John T. Porter, President/CEO Avera Health
Thank you for the quality of presentation our
dealers witnessed. I honestly cannot recall when one of our keynote
speakers has received a standing ovation. Before
you had finished,
the doorways were jammed with staff eager to hear something so
refreshing. My thanks. We will see you again.
