Watching her give an example through 'role-play' of a difficult performance review was aspirational. Structure was on point. Highly engaging. The right mix of presentation, discussion, activities and time for reflection. I really liked the workbook that was provided and the time built in to reflect on the modules to sum up the main take-aways. It forces you to take a hard look at yourself, which can be a little scary, but necessary to excel as a manager. It exceeded my expectations.

• Past Participant, Empire Life Nov 25, 2019

  The course was well planned and went at a good pace. I would recommend this to any new supervisor/manger.

There was much more to add, but the communication part was most helpful to me in my current position. There were some aspects of the course that weren't relative to my position, but I still learned different areas that I will be able to incorporate if I advance further in my career. Carol was extremely informative, and was able to guide us through the course effectively, and was able to answer any questions clearly when they arose.

  The content the course provided was really good. I'm a new-ish manager, and gaining the knowledge and skills needed to help do my job better was really good. Lucie was an amazing instructor. She facilitated the course very well, added additional information or clarity as needed, and kept us all engaged. Overall a great experience.

• Chantal Vachon, City of Clarence-Rockland Mar 28, 2019

  Excellent teacher Very interactiveThe Facilitator knew her material and even added her own expertise to the course. She was excellent

• Alan Taylor, CNL Mar 28, 2019

  The course was set up well to allow open discussion of topics. Good pace.Lucie did a great job, was well versed and experienced. Shared excellent examples.

• Bo Jin, Gemalto Mar 27, 2019

  would have been good if we can have more real life case studies. and how we should actually apply to our job. just the time is tight and the course needs to cover more areas. the instructor Lucie has been wonderful. Lucie has been very clear and direct. That is what we needed. She also promotes the communication between students. that helps all of us to understand the challenges each facing and discussing techniques based on real life cases.

• Past Participant, University of Quebec Mar 27, 2019

  Great content, amazing class discussion, experienced facilitator. Lot of tools to be immediately applied at work.Well prepared. Lot of real life examples. Content well presented and great interaction between program attendees.Very good program's organization. Excellent material to take back to the office. Tasteful and healthy lunches and snacks.

• Kristen Yule, OTIP Mar 26, 2019

  I feel that the course outline was very good in the way the modules were divided up. Each module focused on a particular strategy that we could then apply in our working environments and the consecutive modules built on the skills learned in the previous one. For example I like that Disc style was taught to us, and then the skills that we learned would show us how we could apply the Disc knowledge when interacting with others.I love Karen's style, not only is she a good presenter, and also she is very experienced in the Management work environment. She gave us good examples, to only from a management perspective, but from an employees perspective too. I love her sayings: "Know your audience", "So what..." and "It Depends."I have taken 3 courses through CMC and I am happy with my experience.

  I learnt a lot about myself in this course as well as information which will be valuable when I come into my new position. It has made me see things in a different light and to other people's perspective on situations. Karen made the course relevant, fun and I couldn't believe how quickly the time went because I was so into the material we were covering. I look forward to checking out the other programs and see what else I will take in the future in order to develop more.As previously mentioned, Karen was beyond my expectations. She was very informative and covered the course material with expertise. I look forward to taking other courses and would not mind taking them with her. I really enjoyed her thoughtful comments and the way she related the material to personal experience. Karen made the course go fluently. Time went by quickly, which says a lot about her expertise. Very welcoming

• Past Participant, Anishnawbe Health Toronto Mar 21, 2019

  I thought the content was relevant and the facilitator was excellent. Karen was great. She had a wealth of knowledge and personal history with the topic. I really enjoyed how she was able to provide personal examples for different situations which helped me to figure out how I can apply the things we learned to real life. Everything was taken care of in a timely and professional manner.

• Jody Thrift, X-Copper Professional Corporation Mar 21, 2019

  The course actually exceeded my expectations - I don't normally enjoy participating in things like this where there would be role-playing, etc...but Karen engaged us in so many different ways and recognized that not everyone works or learns in the same way. The information was extremely valuable and I am already working towards applying a lot of the strategies that I learned during the course. Karen was amazing! She was engaged and engaging. She allowed us to use our own experiences and examples - wasn't just a talking head at the front of the room.Everyone at the Centre was very helpful. There to greet you at the door on the first day and always available if you needed anything.

  I found this course very relevant for work items I was struggling with as recent as the weekend before the training course. I also learned a lot about myself. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Liz was fantastic. She addressed all questions and was very engaging. I found this course to be very useful and relevant to my work. I learned a lot.

• Silvina Carou, Environment and Climate Change Canada Jan 14, 2019

  Liz's experience and enthusiasm really came through and it made the course more stimulating and enjoyable. The practical exercises were very useful and forced me to stay focused particularly in the late afternoons when my energy level was starting to decline. I found case studies to be the best way to apply what we had just learned. Great course, thank you!

• Julia Wong, Insight Vacations Jan 11, 2019

  Really enjoyed Liz, and the format at which she presented the course!

• Erika Byres, Mount Pleasant Group Jan 11, 2019

• Past Participant, Parliament Of Canada-House Of Commons Jan 9, 2019

  My favourite part was looking at the real life problems that we discussed in the groups. It was great to hear what others go through and the ideas we came up as a team. More minds are better than one. Liz provides excellent examples to get her point across. They were clear and hit true. These examples will help to retain the information.

• Sylvie, Novus Health Jan 9, 2019

  Would recommend it! Definitely a big bonus was learning that I wasn't alone, my personality can be a leader even if it's not a "D". Thanks for listening. Great! Approchable, knowledgeable, practical

• Ellen Spittle, Lake Ridge Community Support Services Jan 9, 2019

  The information was relevant and useful! She was amazing! She adapted the material to make it relevant for the group. She made everyone feel included and welcomed! I entered the course not feeling like I was management material but she helped me to believe I can be ! All questions were answered in a timely manner

• Mat Ferris, Bennington Financial Services Corp. Jan 9, 2019

  This was a very comprehensive course and I came in a bit skeptical but I came out with lots of ideas and tools to help me in my job so it exceeded my expectations. Liz was very engaging with lots of real-world examples and a wealth of tips and stories. She had a good mix of talking, exercises and group activities to keep me from getting bored.

• Past participant, MedReleaf Corp. Sep 24, 2018

  Would like to include a small section on hiring and firing/interviews, and a more in-depth teaching on conflict management. A bit too much time was spent on personality tests, as most people are a mix of all, not strictly one or the other. Peter was very engaging and an excellent speaker. He presented the material very clearly. As an area for improvement, give the class more time and opportunities to speak on their experiences. See comments prior to this page. Food choices were good.

• Past participant, Legislative Assembly Of Ontario Sep 24, 2018

  I enjoyed the course and I learned quite a few helpful and relevant things. However, I think it is a gamble to link all of the content so closely to the DISC assessment. It was very time consuming to tailor every single assignment to the personality types, time that could have been spent discussing other problems and issues. It also should be stressed that DISC types have no known correlation with job performance. The usefulness of these tests has been oversold. Peter is pleasant, lively, and knowledgeable. My one comment is that I would have preferred more time for discussion of issues. Less DISC, more issues, not really Peter's fault. No all-mayo lunch! Potato salad, chicken salad, and egg salad, all dripping in mayo. Too much!

  One flaw to me was that the majority of exercise assumed we are dealing with good employees...I was hoping for more content on managin underperformers and delivering tough messages. While I understand the importance of the DISC exercise, by the end of day 2 it was getting very repetitive.

• Past participant, Champlain LHIN May 31, 2018

  Would be interesting to incorporate video support to include some real life scenarios/cases that could be further discussed by the group. It would help to keep people's attention and focus by changing the rythm and add some diversity. Very good teacher.

• Past participant, Operis Jan 11, 2018

  Overall very good, Karen was an engaging teacher and had many interesting stories. There were parts which I found a little slow, and some of the other attendees told a few too many stories about their own jobs which weren't always relevant for mine. On the whole it was very informative and I would recommend to colleagues in the future. Engaging with interesting stories and real world examples.

She used her real life experiences to demonstrate some of her points. She was willing to listen to us go off on our tangents and provide feedback. Always willing to listen and discuss after class, also.I really didn't know what to expect, going into this course. That being said, it exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed it and plan on looking for other couses offered by CMC.

  I very much appreciated the information. Karen was absolutely wonderful. Loved her teaching style. I am entirely new to management so a lot of this content was very new to me who is coming from a very small organization where much of the content was never addressed. Therefore I personally would have benefitted from a more introductory course if one exists. Sort of a lecture down approach as I felt like I didn't have enough experience to contribute to the scenarios presented. But overall I really enjoyed the content and Karen's expertise and examples. Thank you. I look forward to the next one.

• Past Participant, Ehealth Ontario Nov 26, 2017

  Should cater DISC style area training for non-supervisor/managers too. One of the best facilitator I have met. Lunch served: No choice for people with food restrictions. Should give few options if cannot cater to all for those who can eat out and reimburse or buy from outside and cater.

• Past participant, Legislative Assembly of Ontario Sep 21, 2017

  The course was very good but it can be difficult to sit for three days in a room. Integrating regular breaks was a good idea. Can more movement be integrated into the course, such as using flip charts for groups so people can stand up for some exercises, instead of always sitting, or making use of break out rooms for exercises to provide small opportunities to get up and move throughout the day? Despite my earlier comments that sitting in a room for three days can be difficult, Peter's energy and enthusiasm helped keep all of us engaged. Thanks - I learned a lot from the course.

• Past Participant, Futurpreneur Canada Sep 21, 2017

  I appreciated the mix of participants with various management experience and industries, as it allowed for a diverse set of opinions and perspectives to the group discussions.

  Great general information for new managers and lots of information to think about. I wish I had taken this course before becoming a manager as I think it would have given me a lot more confidence. Peter did a great job of keeping the group engaged and emphasizing the fact that the content/frameworks in the course content are guidelines, but that there is still a need to keep in mind that every individual is different. CMC is a friendly positive environment in a great location. This is my second course with CMC and I continue to be impressed with the courses and the organization.

Able to maintain a high level of engagement with the group. Good on following after each chapter with key points. Overall very good experience. Adding videos with case study will help to understand. "a picture says a thousand words"

• Past Participant, Mitacs Inc. Sep 20, 2017

  I think the course does a good job at covering topics that are important for a new manager/supervisor to be aware of as you start in the position. I did find at time the constant reference to the DiSC to be redundant. I thought the answers were the same, but just applied in a different context. Overall, however, I did find the learnings to be quite valuable. Peter was a great facilitator, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I appreciate that he share personal experiences which made the topics more relatable. At the end of the last day of the course, Peter made a comment, which I assume was meant as a joke. However, the fact that it is unclear whether or not it was a joke signifies to me he probably should not have said it as it could have been interpreted wrongly.I think there could have been more food for lunch. On the first day, I stayed behind fora bit when lunchtime started to chat with Peter and other colleagues. By the time I got to the food, some of the dishes were empty. It might be a good idea to review the duration of the course. On the last day, we finished much earlier than anticipated. I came from outside Ontario for this course and it would've been nice to catch an earlier flight to get home early. That being said, I appreciate that time on the agenda was respected (start time, breaks, etc.)

I find the best way to learn is to keep an open mind without prior expectations.

She was able to leverage our existing knowledge and we learned not just from her but from the other course students.

If a comment was made by a classmate and it was incorrect she told us it was and didn't beat around the bush. Then found a different way to make us understand the topic. Her teaching techniques were exactly what I respond best to. Marilyn was one of the best I have seen. Great course and the first to really teach me something I never knew, in a long time. I would recommend to my colleagues.

• Past Participant, eHealth Ontario Jul 18, 2017

  Marilyn was very engaging and clearly knowledgable about her subject. Her style of teaching gravitated more towards story telling, and while I enjoyed that, I would have found it more helpful to do more exercises and role plays to really practice what we were learning. I also felt we spent a lot of time on some areas (ie introduction was a half a day) and then sped through others very fast (communication). If there was a rationale for this that was agreed to by the group, I would have understood why that happened but we did not really discuss what topics to spend more or less time on. Finally, Marilyn did seem to assume that we were following her. There were times when I was confused and I know others were too as evidenced by our wrong answers. I would have liked to see her check in with us to see if we were following more often and if we weren't, to adjust and take a different approach. I enjoyed her enthusiasm, the use of videos and the frequent stretch breaks. The room was uncomfortably cold. Good location and good lunch.

WAS MOST PLEASED AT HOW MUCH I LEARNED ABOUT MY PERSONALITY AND SKILLS AS WELL AS OTHERS THIS COURSE WAS GREAT AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL MANAGERS OR EMPLOYEES IN A POSITION OF POWER AND AUTHORITY SHOULD DO A DISC ANALYSIS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR STYLE AND PERSONALITY AND HOW THEY CAN GET ALONG AND WORK EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER DISC STYLES.

• Past Participant, School Boards Cooperative Inc. (SBCI) Jun 26, 2017

  The only thing I thought could be improved was the DISC scoring in the slim booklet. It was hard to see some of symbols to add them up to determine my personality type. An online version might be easier to use.

  I thought the course content was great and really pinpointed on the various real life work situations. Understanding the different personal profile styles and the added layer of generational differences made for a very interesting and thought provoking few days. I have a better grasp on how to manage people and the effective approaches that can be used for a more successful outcome. Amount of food provided during the course was ample however variety of meals during the 3 days could use improvement.

• Past Participant, Select Food Products Jun 25, 2017

  Fantastic course. I wish it was mandatory to know everyone's DISC profile that you come in contact with. It will definitely affect how I approach delegating work flow and how I interact with colleagues on a daily basis going forward. Peter was engaging, entertaining and made the course content come to life and make sense. Loved the snacks and meals provided. They were very much appreciated when attention spans waned. The afternoon snack and coffee was especially appreciated.

Peter did a great job engaging the entire class. He kept the information flowing a good rate and was able to keep the class captivated for the full 3 days. Well done Peter!

• Past Participant, Canam Group Inc May 11, 2017

  I think this course could be a week long, especially considering the excellent resource that Deane is. Deane was excellent, I wold say the best instructor I have had, in well over 10 courses.

• Mal F, Groupe Touchette May 11, 2017

  the course load was very good.. just could have used 1 more day..thanks made sure each time to double check if we were ready to proceed The path I was heading down was not healthy. This course gave me the tools and a chance to re-focus and get to know my team a lot better. The course opened my mind to ideas never imagined. The others in this course were terrific and engaged which helped with the course very much. Deane was very patient and her message came across very clear. Thanks again for a great experience. Mal

  There was a lot of material covered. All of it was excellent. It might have been nice to have it covered in 4 days rather than 3 to allow more time for the concepts to sink in.

• Tanya May 7, 2017

  Catherine was very knowledgeable and her energy was contagious. She kept us engaged and allowed the dialogue to flow so that she was able to provide feedback and valuable guidance on specific issues. When we started to lag in the afternoon, she got us up, stretching and moving so that we could refocus. I would strongly recommend her courses to others and would love to take another course with her in the future.The course was extremely beneficial and enjoyable. I left feeling energized and eager to practice what I had learned. My work and personal life will forever be enriched by using the skills that were taught . Thank you!

  In my opinion the course was very well delivered, if I had to pick on something though I feel there should be engagement with the audience I feel as though many at times presentations on certain point where lengthy which would cause me to lose my focus. Overall though I enjoyed the course, I learned a lot of material from it, thank you. Facilitator was energetic, friendly and helpful but a bit talkative and at times. What I mean by that is that I feel on certain subjects a few too many examples and relations would be used that would stretch time spent on said topic.

• Lynne S, Pfaff Automotive Apr 12, 2017

  The course is excellent. Marilyn is an outstanding facilitator. Her knowledge, passion and dedication are off the chart. This is an excellent course that every Supervisor and Manager should take.

• Jodie H, Canadian Urban Transit Association Mar 27, 2017

  Marilyn was an excellent facilitator, she really took the DiSC styles off paper and demonstrated what they look life in real life. She helped us to develop strategies to change our approach in the workplace. The real-world examples and experiences from Marilyn and the rest of the class were indispensable. I'm going back to the office feeling empowered to lead my team!

• Karen R, WeirFoulds LLP Mar 26, 2017

  the course far surpassed any expectations I had going in. Marilyn is passionate about her subject matter and passed that enthusiasm along. Marilyn connected with the group and kept me engaged throughout the three days. She is an exceptional facilitator.I participated with a colleague and have shared our positive experience with management.

• Past Participant, Pfaff Automotive Partners Inc Mar 23, 2017

  I left leaving statisfied and have already used many things in my job and personal life , it has made me understand myself and the other people around me. thank you so much for this great experience.

  Marilyn was fantastic. I came in skeptical about how much of the course would apply to a role in sales. My skepticism faded as Marilyn engaged me early on in day 1, and while not everything in the course was directly relevant to me, Marilyn was so adept at keeping everyone engaged and interested that I did not lose interest during the irrelevant parts. The course caused me to have a major philosophical shift in thinking, which for me is a big deal. I tend to be a bit stubborn. Armed with more self awareness, and awareness of others and how I can and do interact with them, I feel more confident and effective as a manager. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to add another perspective in their management arsenal. Marilyn was excellent, and I look forward to staying in touch with her moving forward.

• Past Participant, Everest Clinical Research Services Mar 22, 2017

  Marilyn is an excellent facilitator. She guided us through the content of the course very smoothly, used very good examples to help us understand, and inspired us all to be a great manager.

• Past Participant, SCOR CANADA REINSURANCE Mar 22, 2017

  The course content was relevant and very helpful. I cannot say enough about our facilitator Marilyn. She was just excellent. She was experienced, had the entire class engage and gave us many, many tools which I am sure will serve to make us all better managers. I will definitely take future course especially if they are being delivered by Marilyn.This was a positive experience and I came away with clarity, enthusiasm and excitement, ready to apply all of what I learned.

• Jaymie D, CIBC Mar 22, 2017

  This was the best course I have taken with CMC. This is thanks to the instructor.

• Past Participant, Accreditation Canada Feb 24, 2017

  The group exercises were very helpful. They gave us time to practice our skills and to receive feedback. Despite the fact that the group was not very talkative in the beginning, the facilitator was good at engaging everyone and ensuring they participated in the conversations.  The facilitator was knowledgeable and was able to engage all participants into the conversations as the course progressed.  The course was a good overview of the skills needed to start the path to becoming a  more effective manager (ie: communication, feedback, time management, etc).

  I wish this course was mandatory for new Supervisors! And the DISC methodology is the best one I've had so far He was able to answer questions specific to each persons situation - and through that we learned that it wasn't just their situation, we were all in the same boat. It really helped bring us together - and it opened up the opportunity for networking  Even though it's 3 days - it's worth it in order to appropriately absorb the information

• Past Participant, Park Derochie Jan 20, 2017

  sloppy trying to insert work /exercise sheets binder recomended  

• Past Participant, Haemonetics Jan 19, 2017

  In my opinion, there should have been another 30 minutes spent the first morning on discussing the DISC behavior types, their differences and nuances.    It could have also been explained that the remainder of the course would be spent applying this DISC knowledge as we navigate through the various topics.  A stronger introduction of DISC at the beginning would have made it much easier to apply for the next 2.5 days.  I would not have been as over-whelmed and lost and would have left the course feeling much more confident that I could apply the material going forward. Deane knew her material.  At times the instructions were unclear which was frustrating and made it difficult to get the most out of the exercises/role play.  However, I did leave the course knowing I will be able to apply much of the material and be a better leader because of it. 

• Hannah L. Jan 12, 2017

  The content was provided to me in a format that I understood easily. I feel much more confident in my abilities as a leader because of this course. Marilyn was wonderful. I noticed that she really engaged the class throughout the three days. I am very happy that she was my instructor.  I have developed a new found confidence in my professional life, as well as my personal life from the Management Skills for New Supervisors and Managers course.

• Yerlan O. Jan 10, 2017

  I wanted to thank Marilyn for her energy and enthusiasm she has shown in teaching the course. Her stories and activities kept the class engaged in the course material. I left the classroom with tools that I know will help me to build a successful career as a manager.

• Past Participant, Alberta Securities Commission Dec 18, 2016

  The course content and materials were good.  The materials should be a good resource to refer to in the future. The facilitator was great.  Very knowledgeable and seemed to be speaking a lot from personal experience rather than just reciting a textbook.  Answered all questions that were asked.

  The material was arranged in a format that is easy to understand and apply. Liz is an excellent facilitator. In addition to the content within the questions above, she was inviting and, in my opinion, has a style that creates a successful learning environment. As an introvert, I was more inclined to share my thoughts in a manner that came naturally due to the nature of the atmosphere. I really enjoyed the small group setting.

• Marcia A. Dec 13, 2016

• Camille B. Nov 24, 2016

  The pace was fast but also reasonable.  Day 1 is a particularly heavy day because you are being introduced to concepts.  I found it hard to go home to review the materials and then complete homework.  Maybe adding a half day to the course would allow more review time.   Deane was very experienced and knowledgeable.  At times, I found her explanation of the tasks (group work, case studies, etc.) somewhat confusing, however, she was always able to clarify if we asked more questions.  I enjoy personal stories and concrete examples.  She worked us hard, has high expectations and pushed us to stretch and flex beyond our comfort zones. I would have liked more frequent breaks for shorter amounts of time.  It was challenging, focused work.  For example, 5 minute breaks every hour to stretch, move around, avert attention, etc. Downtown locations are very challenging and expensive for parking and getting to and from.  Please choose sites that are near main roads (like the Henday, Yellowhead, Whitemud)-easier access.

• Vince R. Nov 24, 2016

  Course was very good, lots of information, intense at times when learning new content, recommend perhaps a 4th day. Deane was incredible she was able to make everyone very comfortable, knew when to assist in encouraging participation in role playing and discussions  which in turn brought the group close.    The only concern I have is with the location of the training being city center, parking is very expensive and limited, suggestion is to move from the city center, Edmonton has lots of facilities that would work fine and have free parking.

• Past Participant, Fednav Limited Nov 24, 2016

  I would have liked a quicker pace. Also, I was familiar with the concepts, so I think  more advanced  material could have been incorporated. Luc was really great! 

• Pamela S. Nov 24, 2016

  I felt that some of the scenarios did not directly apply to my team/situation at work, however the learning from those scenarios was valuable.  Marilyn was just incredible. She had amazing stories, great examples, a deep and thorough understanding of the concepts and provided us with additional tools. I found her approach to be firm but compassionate, focused but sincere. I really learned a great deal from her.  

• Past Participant, Liebherr Canada Ltd. Nov 23, 2016

  I enjoyed the class. The book was good but would of been better if it was in a binder. I enjoyed Deane. You wanted to hear what she had to say. She had great examples and she would be someone I would mentor.  I really enjoyed it. I came in thinking I was a horrible supervisor but the course has shown me I am not horrible. I just need guidance on my coaching and delegating. Thankyou Deana for your help

  Really informative and eye-opening Marilyn was a great facilitator and she makes everyone feel comfortable throughout the class. She lets us take it at our own pace and lets the discussions grow organically, allowing for more time (if needed) on things topics that are more relevant to the class and making sure that we understand how to apply things we learn to our own environment as everyone's in a different industry. I like the length of the course. It was just right. The meals provided were really great. Overall, my whole experience has exceeded my expectations. Marilyn is a great facilitator and she keeps things interesting.

• Past Participant, St Francis Herb Farm Nov 16, 2016

  I think there could have been adequate time for all the modules, we didn't cover the very last one. I know that most people have seen a performance review before (including myself) but my current work place does not have these and my coworker has never seen one, this part of the course would have been useful for us.  This has nothing to do with the performance of the facilitator (who was great) but the chairs were horrible, really really horrible, especially for sitting almost 8 hours. I don't think I was the only one left with lingering back pain. Good energy (but not over the top), relate-able examples, good knowledge.  Again, the chairs, the chairs were not suitable for sitting that long, maybe get a yoga instructor for the lunch break if those have to be the chairs. I loved the location, preferred it at the hotel. Not sure what happened with the communication piece but was not please with my notes and my personal pen being thrown out after the first day. The course material and facilitator were very enjoyable and I found the course useful.

  Liz is very open and interactive. She encouraged us to ask questions, and it made a difference to the dynamic of the class. It is definitely not a 'sit and listen' kinda course..

  It was a great 3 days, I met wonderful people, my classmates are amazing, they are very generous sharing their experiences. I definitely learned a lot

• Past Participant, Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. Sep 21, 2016

• Past Participant, Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) Sep 21, 2016

  Liz did an extremely fabulous job facilitating the session. She was able to keep the group interested the entire time through her great exercises relating to each important concept she taught. She was also able to customize her approach based on the personalities and interests around the room. She noticed that she had a room of all introverts and was able to run her course in a way that we were all engaged, comfortable, and getting the most out of the course we could. I enjoyed the course a lot more than I thought I would and I really do commend Liz for bringing her experience, humour, and practical insights to make the course super helpful for the managers around the room. In addition, the room was very comfortable with all the supplies we needed and I liked that the group was small which made the interactions easy and provided everyone an opportunity to speak and express their thoughts.

  Very nice location for the course. Very clean office and it was nice to have drinks throughout the day. The lunch and afternoon cookie "pick me up" was also good. Overall, a great experience. 3 days is a bit long and there was a lot of material to cover so I will definitely be looking back to my course book for reference in the future.

  Michel was very dynamic and engaging and brought a lot of rich experience to the group.  One of the better facilitators I have ever had the pleasure to work with as an adult learner.  As far as content, this too was relevant and comprehensive; although I would have liked to see some content related to labour relations  and items to consider with unionized staff. 

  Overall, I found the course to be excellent  and worthwhile

  The course was very well run, and there was an excellent balance of content mixed with reinforcement through real-life examples. Each module covered had something to offer all attendants, both new managers/supervisors and seasoned alike. 

  Karen was an excellent facilitator, she proved extremely knowledgeable and was able to adapt to the myriad of learning styles and levels of motivation from the attendants. Karen was friendly, approachable, accommodating and professional, honest. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a management course.

  The best facilitator I have ever met!

• Past Participant, Toronto Hydro Jul 20, 2016

• Past Participant, FRMG Jul 20, 2016

  The course was excellent, far exceeded the expectations I had coming into the course. There were a couple of instances when I was a little lost in where we were in the notebook, but this was because I was listening and engaged in the conversation that was taking place with the other participants. Excellent course!

  Coming into the course I was a little leary, as I wasn't totally sure what to expect. I was worried that the content was going to be dry and boring. My experience was the complete opposite, it was very engaging and very enjoyable. I have left the course with much better management knowledge and information, to not only reinforce some of the management practices that I had been using, but to also greatly build upon them. Thank you very much!

• Past Participant, Central Community Care Access Centre Jul 19, 2016

  I loved the course material and Marilyn's interactive approach in delivering the lessons. 

  Marilyn was absolutely fantastic! I would highly recommend her for anyone to receive training/coaching from her expertise. Her enthusiasm is contagious and everyone in the class (whether the person is DiSC) was extremely engaged.

  I would recommend this course to anyone who is new or interested in going into managment

• Past Participant, Young Presidents Organization Jul 3, 2016

  I had taken a Change Management course with the same instructor and there was a lot of overlap.  Good content, just some repetition.

  I feel the title is a misinterpretation for the material that is provided by the course.  I believe that all levels of management and all levels of experience can benefit from this course.  I feel this course provides a good foundation for all types of communications that are received and need to be relayed.  Allows one self to take a moment to reflect what is truly being said.

  I'm sure it helps that the facilitator was an "I"-leader such as myself.  So I found most, if not all, of the content entertaining when paired with real life examples.  Marilyn took the time to ensure all class participants fully understood the material and was able to present and reiterate information as needed so that all could understand from all perspectives.  She brought clarity to many grey areas that could be interpreted differently and she allowed me to see the simplicity of communicating difficult tasks or discussions by simplifying the thought process.  She has brought some structured organization to my organized chaos.  I enjoyed her class very much and can only have the opportunity to attend another course in the near future.

  I enjoyed every minute of the course, from the time I stepped in to the time I stepped out.  Group activities, live role plays, one on one discussions and real life examples really allowed me to keep engaged at all times.  I appreciated the fluidity of the course outline and the recap at the end to tie in all aspects that was learned from each day.  I can honestly say I took more away from this course than I had expected or ever appreciated from previous training sessions.

  Somewhat of an information overload. May benefit by adding a 4th day and spreading content out a bit more. Overall excellent, and so happy I took this course!

  Marilyn was an absolutely fantastic facilitator

• Past Participant, DATA Communications Management Jun 26, 2016

  The course was very interesting and useful, the teacher was excellent and keeping the students engaged and very clear in presenting the material.

  Marilyn is an outstanding Facilitator, vey knowledgeable, engaged and enthusiastic. Best course I ever had. 

• Jada N. Jun 25, 2016

  Marilyn is by far the best instructor I've ever experienced.  She is a commanding and strong, but warm communicator and was thoroughly engaging and I feel like I got the most out of the course because she taught it.

• Stephanie P. Jun 23, 2016

  Carol is a very competent instructor who kept us all engaged, kept us well on schedule, while allowing any input or questions, and gave us tools that we will be able to apply in our daily work.

• Melissa P. Jun 22, 2016

  Catherine is an amazing coach, she truly cares about her students and makes sure we have what we need to succeed. If not for her I don't believe I would have taken as much out of the course!!!

  AMAZING

• Past Participant, Cantega Technologies Inc. Jun 22, 2016

  This course gave me the confidence and skills to address difficulties we encounter with employees.  It was well structured and very insightful

  Catherine was one of the best teachers I've ever had. I believed I walked away from this course a better person and manager. Talk about engaging different DiSC styles, she is the master!

• Past Participant, Accreditation Canada May 17, 2016

  Michel was EXCELLENT! I have never had such an engaged instructor who is obviously passionate about what he does. He has already followed up with the class around some resources he had promised.

  Luc was a great facilitator, and provided lots of helpful tips. I found that we didn't use the workbook as much (which I like, I'm not a big workbook fan). maybe the book could be condensed so its easier to find the really helpful stuff? 

• Past Participant, Brookfield Renewable Energy Group May 11, 2016

• Past Participant, Accreditation Canada May 11, 2016

  I learned a lot of valuable tools in the course that I hope to apply immediately.  The course was more enjoyable thanks to the excellent facilitator, Michel.

  Michel is was a very engaging facilitator.  I appreciated that he also added to the content of the course with his "salad bar" information.  

• Past Participant, Accreditation Canada May 10, 2016

  Great that we were a small group. Got a lot out of it even if been managing for a little while. Your manual is easy to use but is probably ready for a refresh.

• Jackye M. Apr 13, 2016

  This course was absolutely fantastic, Nick was unbelievable, he was so engaged and so easy to listen to.  He had everyone involved at all times.  Always checking in on the group, asking questions or concerns.  Extremely knowledgable and willing to answer any questions that he could honestly. I feel that Nick gave me the tools I need to be a better supervisor in a lot of areas.  I feel it was very benefincial for myself and my company and should continue to do this course.  I strongly believe a lot of it had to specifically do with Nick's communication skills and all of his knowledge that made the course excellent.  I will be feeding it back to my managers and HR dept how great I thought it was.  Thank you and thank you to Nick

  Absolutely amazing!!!!!

  A little too much discussion, although in fairness, participants asked a lot of questions that encouraged such discussion.

  We have been routinely sending staff to this course over the past few years. We'll continue to do so.

• Past Participant, The College of Physiotherapists of Ontario Apr 12, 2016

  I found the  participants were permitted too much leeway to go off on tangents. I don't mind when people ask questions but telling stories went on too long.  I found this took away from learning the core concepts of the course.

• Past Participant, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Mar 18, 2016

  Karen was great and brought great enthusiasm to the class. Negative was rushed end with no plan for how to apply afterward or instruction to create a plan. First afternoon with disc exercise was long and confusing.  This work could be done prior to the course starting

• Past Participant, Dream Office Management Corporation Mar 17, 2016

  Karen is really knowledgable and I got inspired a lot! Thank you!

  I would like to have more role play discussion on the cash studies. Thanks!

• Robert M. Mar 6, 2016

  The course was very well taught. The instructor provided context and examples to supplement the material. Lots of group activities and practice to keep us engaged.

  I also instruct as part of my job, and learned a lot about teaching while in the course. I noticed lots of things done right, and took away a few tips and tricks I'll use when teaching.

• Past Participant, Champlain - Ontario's Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) Feb 28, 2016

  Thank you Sal for keeping the course extremely interesting and giving us some real life examples. I feel I will be able to apply what I've learnt. It has been a while since I've learnt that much in a course. Thank you.

  Excellent facilitator. Nick made the course enjoyable and had many real life examples to supplement course material. Would definitely enjoy taking a course with him again! 

• Tracy K. Feb 10, 2016

  Management Skills for New Supervisors & Managers is a relevant course for anyone looking to increase their skills when dealing with employees.  The content is clear, concise and informative.

  The course was very informative.  It was relevant, timely and well paced.

  One of the best facilitators I've had.  He kept me engaged. Normally I'm a 'clock watcher' but this time I was fully engaged.

• Past Participant, LifeLabs Feb 9, 2016

  Our instructor Nick Pollice was excellent.  He had a lot of personal examples that was invaluable.  He was very passionate and enthusiastic which kept the group engaged.    It was an enjoyable seminar.    

  The course content should include conflict resolution

  I have recommended the course to our Learning department via feedback.  More of MPAC managers will be attending - in fact, the ones who are seasoned managers should also attend.  I have conveyed my thoughts to our learning department.

  This is my second course with Bruce.  Bruce brings a personal touch to his courses reflected from his time in the corporate world.  To capture everyone's attention over multiple days is a challenging task and Bruce does it incredibly well.  

• Past Participant, Platinum Naturals Jan 21, 2016

  Bruce kept the content moving at a good pace and kept it interactive and conducive to learning.

  This course had a lot of relevant information that will be useful in my career going forward. The materials were well written and there were a number of scenarios that were thought provoking. Bruce was a great moderator and kept the group engaged. The group interaction was useful and I learned quite a bit from my peers.

  Bruce was engaging, helpful and respectful of all opinions. He kept the pace of learning constant and at a good rate.

• Past Participant, Brisco Wood Preservers Ltd Sep 18, 2015

  Excellent course but I think 4 -8 hr days would be better. System overload

• Andrew P., Sep 16, 2015

  Real-world tools delivered clearly and succinctly! Our facilitator's ability to maintain the energy level over our three-day course was super-human which invited his sudents to really engage and lean into the content. Stellar. Stellar. Stellar!

  Very thorough information for new managers.Peter is an entertaining and knowledgeable instructor.

• Terra W., Sep 15, 2015

  I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I was interested in each Module and appreciated the opportunity to learn more. The only negative thing I would say is that it was a long 3 days and perhaps a lot to take in during that time. Peter was great! Excellent at keeping us engaged and the topics interesting. He always gave us an opportunity to openly discuss opinions and was very good at encouraging us to speak.

  The facilitator's stories were often very long and not always necessary to make the point. Other participants in the room seemed to like the stories, but I would have prefered more content. We could have covered way more ground if the stories were kept to a minimum. We also had a lot of participants in the room (with D and i personalities) that would cut the facilitator off, ask unrelated questions, or make comments that would bring the conversation off track. I felt like the facilitator could have done better at moderating that - encouraging those people to talk to her at the break or at the end of the day, but instead she entertained each question or comment and that would often put us over time. There were many times where I "checked out" of the conversation because it was just a one-on-one conversation with one individual in the room.

• Roy H., Jul 15, 2015

  This course exceeded my expectations. I thought if I got at least 1 or 2 things I could apply to my job I would be happy but every module gave me useful information. Marilyn did a fantastic job. I have a short attention span in a class-room environment but she kept things very engaging and kept things moving along at a quick pace while allowing the class to talk. Marilyn allowed people to speak but didn't allow them to high-jack the course and ramble on about their own issues. She did a fantastic job.

  I did not feel that a Manager or new Supervisor would feel any better equipped to do their job(s) once returning to their work environment.   The skills necessary to do this job (which I am presently doing) involves conflict management, managerial liabilities and group facilitation.  Very little of the course would apply (other than identifying personality traits) and for the most part, I struggle to see the benefit.  Luc knew his material and handled the class effectively.
