You can team with anyone with shared goals; results can come from many areas at unexpected times. Need to revisit even the most “common” attributes from time to time; Teams well-directed succeed together.

It’s important to know what the strengths/weaknesses of others is. While you need someone to lead the tasks, that person also has to listen to other team members and not assume they are always right. Learning to communicate in more than one way is key, because everyone comprehends differently.

Synovate, Toronto

Marketing Director

Excellent !! I would recommend this session to others. Highly interactive, action- oriented 

and very engaging; great material. Very thought-provoking to look at ourselves vs. team. There were a lot of  AH HA’s during the card game – an unusual & effective approach. Learned about myself and s tress awareness - showed me how little I knew. Facilitated very well, everyone participated and the group felt comfortable & relaxed. The info/stats from outside research were eye-opening!

The Scarborough Hospital

Manager Human Resources

The tools in my mind are far more effective than employee surveys. I support the view that we need more authentic and meaningful conversations. Loved it. Clear & useful. Great Tools !! Worth the investment. Got a good ROI. Finding out about your direction as an employee/person and then determining how your objectives match the corporate ideals was highly useful. Creative & fun; Interesting & informative; Highly recommended for any organization.

We all had a great time and appreciate you and your team’s attention to detail and enthusiasm! People are still talking about the offsite today in the office and it’s nice to see the team-building has had a residual effect.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare

Johnson & Johnson

Asst. Brand Manager

It was outstanding. Pat was a great instructor. Good decorations and music.  Useful information - has given me a lot to think about in my future dealings and how I go about influencing colleagues and/or customer relationships. Beneficial in reinforcing practices I am currently following + some new ideas to try out.  I came here not knowing what this workshop was about. When I arrived, I thought - “not another one of these role-playing sessions.” When I left, I felt that I had learned some very valuable information on how to communicate better. Thank you. Well presented, fun, “experiential” component adds to retention of information.  Now I can turn left.  Very well done, Pat & THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I will carry the info I have learned with me always.
