`` You rocked the Leading Highly Productive Teams talk yesterday. Everyone loved the tools, and your presentation. I’ll be recommending you to everyone as a WOW speaker!
Joy Playford, Forum Chair, Mackay CEO Forums
`` We asked Colin to assist with the planning and facilitation of our annual management strategic planning session. Colin’s wise counsel leading up to the session and deft facilitation of the two day meeting resulted in renewed clarity of purpose and energy for the entire team. Colin brought not only excellent facilitation skills, but also his own experience and insight to enrich and enable deep, productive discussions.
Miranda Lam, Chief Legal Officer & Senior Director, Business Development, Acuitas Therapeutics
Colin assisted Acuitas Therapeutics by planning and facilitating our annual strategic offsite. Colin was absolutely effective in this role, combining excellent facilitation skills (ensuring clarity, moving the discussion along, and keeping us on track) with insightful and relevant examples from his own experiences. There was some concern about the effectiveness of an external person facilitating our session as this was the first time we had done such a thing. After the event, there was uniform agreement that Colin really helped us and that the event was better for having him there.
Having our leadership team in alignment is critical for delivering on our strategy. Thank you for the great session! You have a powerful way of bringing people together in a session like this.
Andrew Barnes, CEO, Coho Collective 12 Aug 2022
Colin has been incredibly effective at helping me ACHIEVE NUMEROUS PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GOALS. He's built an incredible process that adds a layer of structure around achieving goals and keeping you accountable to your own progress and development. I never thought I'd work with an executive coach, but now I can't imagine not having Colin as part of my team.
Hiring Colin to work with me on everything I do as the leader of a successful construction company was and is ONE OF THE SMARTEST DECISIONS I HAVE MADE IN YEARS. Colin tactfully prods me to re-engage with my own thoughts and challenges me to re-think how I approach and engage with my family, team, and my business without ever making me feel "lesser than".
Colin provided great tips and actionable insights. His presentation style was interesting and entertaining. After the session I had multiple people from my team requesting access to his deck (which he kindly provided).
I think improving communication and listening skills is something everyone can benefit from, all the way from our junior sales rep to the CEO and I feel our team got a ton of value by having Colin share his insights and ideas.
