Client Testimonials

Practical, Applicable Results:

“I found that The Leadership Group’s approach to developing leadership and management skills was practical and applicable. They brought the most current science and knowledge about developments in leadership and brain function to the table, then helped me to apply that science so that I am better able to get what I want as a manager, and to help others get what they want as well. After a six-month program, I have progressed in my own leadership skills and am able to see the results in practical terms every day.”

-Andy Ladouceur, Director, Processing Automation Projects, HRSDC

“It’s good to see a change in each of us. I know my behaviour is changing. I will miss the sessions when they are done.”

Doug Sanderson, Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC)

Leading Better Both Upward & Downward:

“The combination of theory and application that The Leadership Group provides creates an ideal environment to grow as a leader. The team sessions were educational and practical, allowing me to see how my peers are dealing with similar challenges and to witness how our approaches to common situations can be improved. Between team sessions, the one-on-one coaching allowed me to take that new knowledge and apply it to my own scenarios, situations, ambitions and goals. I gained the real, practical experience that I needed to make definite improvements in my abilities to lead both upward and downward.”

-Andy Ladouceur, Director, Processing Automation Projects, HRSDC

Improved Interactions:

“The Leadership Group provided me with practical techniques to improve the outcomes of my interactions and conversations with others. They also gave me the opportunity to practice those techniques and provided immediate feedback and ‘course corrections’ to help me maximize these new leadership skills. The tools and techniques I learned from The Leadership Group have become an important element in my leadership toolkit.”

-Marie-Anne Bradford, Director, Material & Asset Management, Integrated Planning and Reporting Division, Health Canada

“I have always considered myself a ‘positive’ person but after attending personal leadership sessions with Dale and Trevor Stevenson at The Leadership Group, I now realize that a positive attitude is only the first step.  They helped me understand that I have the power to effect the necessary changes in my life to lead to better balance.  As a result, I’ve found the strength and confidence to take concrete actions that have dramatically improved both my professional and personal life.”

- Julie Willis, Project Officer, Canada Revenue Agency

Measureable Results:
“I measure the results of the leadership techniques that I learned from The Leadership Group in terms of the success of my interactions with staff and colleagues. I am now more prepared to have fruitful discussions and successful meetings with a variety of individuals and can measure that success by the work that my team produces.”

-Marie-Anne Bradford, Director, Material & Asset Management, Integrated Planning and Reporting Division, Health Canada

Effective Leadership Program:

“The Leadership Group succeeded in creating and delivering an excellent leadership development program which was specific and relevant to my particular needs and those of other leaders working in government. Their tailored L.E.A.P Program allowed me to develop and practice skills, competencies and best practices required for today’s future executives. Their staff of professional trainers encouraged participants’ interaction while learning skills and knowledge which could be applied to our individual roles. The program also provided excellent one-on-one, specific and individually tailored coaching. The L.E.A.P Program has given me a far greater grasp on how to be a stronger and more influential leader.”

- Associate Director, Agri-Environment Services Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Passion & Values:

“I have had the pleasure of observing The Leadership Group in action in workshop sessions. They bring a unique passion and grounded values to their group leadership experiences. They engage participants and find innovative ways to help them work to their own leadership potential. I have seen their approaches bring measurable improvement in the ability of leaders to effectively manage change.”

-Richard Tobin, Former ADM (retired) of Corporate Management and Services, Public Service of Canada
