Testimonials

• “Bill was extremely energetic and enthusiastic about all aspects of dealing with our employees be it through mentoring, counseling or training. Bill changed the culture …designing, planning, and delivering timely, effective, and innovative training. [He] excelled in conflict management courses, which he delivered to almost every fulltime staff person in a year. I appreciated this as our division experienced fewer and fewer employee issues and stronger levels of supervision, which of course equated to higher levels of customer satisfaction… a true leader in the human resource field with extensive educational and operational hands-on experience.”

• “Bill’s support, mentorship, and leadership were key factors in my success. [He] was excellent at providing constructive feedback and encouraging me to be better… A great mentor, a great coach, Bill talked with me often about where I was, where I wanted to be and how I would get there. I learned a lot from Bill. I watched his style as a facilitator and learned how to make my facilitation better. I watched him navigate the politics of a government organization and learned from him. I learned by watching him deal with unions, employees at all levels, tough budget decisions, and many other areas. Today, I am the Vice President of Human Resources for a large credit union in British Columbia. I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today had I not met and worked for Bill.”
