Testimonials:
Gord’s approach to team coaching has resulted in tremendous insights and advancement for our group. His solid business and organizational background focuses the conversations on issues impacting effectiveness and performance. Gord has been able to quickly build trust with our team producing quick results and delivering real value.
Dave Kelly, P. Eng., Vice President, Wardrop Engineering Inc.
“Gord's coaching helped me to understand that I did not need to be the expert in all things and that I could trust good people to take care of the things they were good at. I learned to forgive myself for not being perfect, and to publicly acknowledge, embrace and value my talents. Working with you gave me my confidence back by showing me what I had to offer in my role as a leader.”
K., IT Manager
“My coaching sessions with Gord were extremely insightful and inspirational. I now know exactly what it takes to be a true leader, in life, and in business. Gord’s insight, knowledge and coaching talent enabled me to change the way I interact with people such that I am more successful and satisfied with both my career path and my personal life.”
Darin Tucker, MBA, Program Manager
“Gord has helped me to come out of my shell and take action in my career. Through the one on one sessions that he provides, I have learned how to become a very effective speaker and how to get people interested in the information that I am presenting. Before Gord helped me I was very shy and extremely terrified of having to do any type of presentation. Now I think of presentations as being a great opportunity to display my knowledge and enthusiasm for a particular subject, as well as, making a strong impression on others. I will continue to use the skills that Gord has helped me develop in order to achieve success throughout my career.”
Christal Trowbridge, Business Analyst
“As a coach, Gord has provided help, advice and encouragement to “unlock” my potential. Through his coaching I have become more self aware. I have also developed a sense of purpose. I have a better understanding of my personal needs, what interests me, what I want, and where I want to go in life. Gord is also helping me to become more self directed, to follow my intuition and choose a path I want to take.”
Amber Brockman, EIT, Project Management
“It is evident in our meetings that Gord has a true passion for coaching and mentoring young professionals. He has the necessary experience required to effectively guide and influence individuals and would be a great asset to any organization looking for a professional coach/mentor. These sessions have been invaluable and I will continue to use the skills that Gord has helped me develop in order to achieve success throughout my career.”
