The instructor was very informative and engaging. I like how we were able to be put into groups, and it felt like I was in a real class room, except virtually. The class was given enough break times was hour and 10 mins was perfect. The only comment I have about the class, trying to follow the handouts and where to look at activities was a bit confusing. Just need to be more clear on the instructions. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this class to others.

Thank you very much Karen. She accommodated to the best of her ability in helping us with all our individual struggles and provided us with actual tools/approaches to use and reminders and food for thought as we work towards becoming more diplomatic and tactful. I found it also liberating that she gave us permission to acknowledge our feelings like be upset, sad, frustrated and articulate them in difficult conversations. I'll always remember - It depends. Know your audience. It widened my perspective that applies both to work and life in general. I liked that all the participants were very open about their experiences and struggles and helpful in sharing possible approaches to situations brought up. It was engaging and it opened up opportunities for self-reflection and gave me the encouragement to consider what matters to me and decide from there. The exercises were very valuable. I intend to use them as I evaluate the relationships I have in the workplace, and how to nurture and make them stronger. I greatly appreciate how she shared a lot of her experiences and encouraged us too to share ours. It will help you be a better person - i.e. understand yourself and others. And i think as you get better at being diplomatic, tactful and credible, you'll experience a happier and more rewarding life.

Because of her I was able to embrace the course and the other participants. She made us all feel welcomed and relaxed. Very impressive indeed. The one thing I would say is: the CMC courses work if you go into them with an open mind and reserve judgment until the course is over. All the information received throughout the course makes sense at the end, but you have to allow it to come together.

One comment I would like to make is regarding this training was a participant present, was extremely rude and making a lot of us in the course feel uncomfortable as he was continuously arguing, being rude and name calling our instructor. At times I actually wanted to leave the course as he was causing quite a conflict. I am not sure if there are procedures in place to deal with that sort of thing but I think they should implement something for any future incidents.I think she was very good on the knowledge side of it all, however regarding that conflict I think she could have dealt with it a bit better. Overall I think she is a wonderful person and teacher.

Always enjoy the open forum for discussion. Marilyn was well spoken and was a good source of knowledge. Had good examples to speak from and had the class looking through a different lense by the end of the second day. I will take a good portion of this thinking back with me.Had good energy and was able to steer discussions to new thoughts. By the end I believe most of us had opened our thoughts tosome of her suggestions. Well spoken and good presentation. The course content was effective. Was relevant and created good discussions in the class. The real scenarios allows the class to relate in some way and take what they need from the course.

Hi, Reg was a great presenter/teacher. He kept the group engaged and shared relevant stories. I would suggest for future classes that an activity be created to practice seeing and dealing live with other styles. Such as a video showing a person talking to the audience as if they were the person they were talking to. Replicating a confrontational situation. The class could pause the video at key points and discuss the clues as to how to read the persons style and other aspects. This could give more of a hands on practice approach. All in all I enjoyed the course. Reg was a great facilitator and made the course go by smoothly. He paid attention to the group and made sure everyone was comfortable and ok with the speed.

We ran out of time right at the end, and had to rush through the last module (or two?) of content. There were a few times when participants spoke for a long time, sometimes on topic, sometimes not quite, and I think this contributed to the time shortage. Nevertheless, it was an excellent course, and I will be reviewing the materials going forward, especially the last bit of content that we didn't have enough time for. Thank you. Very friendly, professional, engaging and extremely enthusiastic.Overall an excellent course. I would come back to CMC for courses in the future. Also, excellent food and refreshments.

It was a bit rushed on Day 2 but then again we were a chatty group. Bill was one of the best course instructors (of any topic) that I have had the pleasure of spending time with. He was excellent. CMC was great - I would recommend that you suggest to your participants to bring a water bottle so that not so many plastic cups are wasted. Your receptionist/service is exceptionally pleasant. On a side note: I really appreciated Bill's flexibility and accommodation as I had a particularly hectic 2 days - I felt he understood that work happens and he didn't "mind" that I needed to step out for calls or check my email during his class. Other instructors have been very disapproving of this in the past; and it's not something I can avoid, so I appreciated not being made to feel bad about it.

Prior to the class each attendee should have two copies of the self assessment for them to provide to two coworkers of their choice that they value their opinion/perception of them. Then in class when the attendee completes their own they can compare to see where they see themselves compared to their valued opinion peer. This way they can focus in even more during the class on areas they wish to improve on.

I realy liked the Workbook titled 'Insight Inventory'. There are lots of great communication tools on dealing with differing work styles as to take back with me. For me, more time spent on this would have been beneficial. Please can you tell me how to order the Workbook? Laura is a most excellent presenter; she made everyone comfortable and moved effortlessly through the material. I learned some great techniques on presenting from her. A great course for those new to a management role; especially coming in from being part of a team to managing it. I believe most of the material is structured for this and would highly recommend it for anyone transitioning into a Management role. I'd like to offer a suggestion for a new course on managing virtual/distance teams. The challenges are different and as virtual teams are fairly new there is not a lot of tried and true material out there on it. On any management course I take I always check if anyone is managing a virtual team and we brainstorm as much as we can on shared issues and solutions that have worked.

It is a useful course for me to pick up 3 things that I can apply to my work and help me to communicate better with others. One thing that I think could help the audiences to related to the materials more is to provide more real work or life examples or experiences during the class. Overall, it is a good learning experience. Thank you for putting everything together. Laura did a good job to facilitate the class discussion. She is approachable and easy to talk to.

There were a number of useful elements to the course and the instructor was well-versed in the materials. I found that the content at times was somewhat basic. We did a role-play exercise of a difficult conversation at the end of the course that I found very useful. This course could be enhanced through more practical application to difficult discussions along with observations.

The professionalism, skill and knowledge of the facilitator was exceptional and the facility provided for the effective learning environment. The professionalism and courteousness of all the administration agents is also to be commended. I would definitely recommend CMC to anyone.
Lucie has had to be the best facilitator of any other courses I have taken.

This was a very positive experience. I was fortunate as well because the other participants were positive, pleasant and engaging as well, it made the course also more interesting and beneficial.
Ann was incredible. She was very skilled at answering questions and situations in the moment and giving them their due time while being mindful of the time we had to cover all areas.

The on site experience of exchanging real world examples provided to be an invaluable learning tool. The fact that I was able to exchange views and share experiences with unbiased people gave that edge for this course that I value the most.
Some video material used in this course was from the late 80's , could have used more recent ones, although the message was there.

-
Past Participant, CIBC - Toronto Jul 22, 2015
The activities and exercises really needed a foundation in the sense that we were asked to ask each other how to be diplomatic, tactful and credible. Well, nobody knows that which is essentially the reason to attend this course. What would have worked is before the worskhop to read material offline and then be actually taught how to do these things. Again people came to the course to learn because they knew nothing of the specific areas and yet you are asking those same people to evaluate each other. this would be so misguided and not an authority to discuss these subjects. The intent of the course was not served. Its not about the facilatator but rather the material itself and the format used. disucssions among people who have no knowledge about the subject!! Wow what sort of a course is this...discussions should occur after a knowledge base has been established otherwise there is no credibility in what the students are discussing.
