Balance Point

 
“Our primary focus
is delivering results
for customers.”

 

 





 
 
“[What I liked best were] the fast pace, depth of well researched material, workbook, and great, friendly facilitation style. The simplicity of the tools makes them easy to apply. The coaching interaction was also useful.”
(Debbie Payne, OD Consultant, Leadership & Learning, Terasen Gas)
 
“The workshop was a tight package of good research, worksite examples, and individual change / improvement mechanisms. I particularly appreciated the variety of theories rather than just one approach. Good context mapping for how the workshop fit with the overall program. [I also liked] the facilitator’s style and knowledge.”
(Kehl Petersen, Change Management Consultant, TELUS)
 
“Very good material, both in terms of what was covered as well as the take-aways. I will get very good use of your materials. It won’t gather any dust on my shelf. Lots of new ideas and concepts that I can take back to my team and use right away.”
(Miriam Libin, Senior Marketing Manager, TELUS)
 
“Thanks so much for the opportunity to learn, network and share information at your strategic leadership development breakfast. You are a dynamic speaker who has the ability to captivate an audience very easily. Great information session—I will certainly spread the word.”
(Lisa Winsor, Training Coordinator, SYSCO SERCA Food Services)
 
“I really enjoyed the session. I think that this was one of the few training courses that I have walked away with an action plan to implement some of the learning's in my day to day behavior. I have used the action plan by putting objectives and measures into my performance review. I firmly believe that you do not need to be in a leadership role, i.e. manager, to take on leadership qualities. I am focusing on developing these qualities in my day to day activities with my team… The information is great, as is the instructor. He really breaks the material into components that are easily understood and universally applicable.”
(Deanne Lewison, QTG [Quaker] Canada)
 
“On behalf of the Customer Service team here at WestJet, we once again would like to thank you for your great workshop. I really hope that WestJet and yourself will be able have some further discussions and workshops because I think the material that you present will help everyone at WestJet develop as we continue to grow.”
(Pino Mancuso, Manager, Quality Manager, WestJet)
 
“The philosophy of the facilitator/company comes through strongly and sets the workshop apart from other similar material offered by others. The experience is unique in: (1) believing in the best in people; (2) it is possible and effective to choose to put dignity and positive attitude into seemingly mundane tasks and work situations; (3) the vision for integration and authenticity between work and personal lives; and (4) the emphasis on taking it from the abstract to concrete applicability… Joel I have learned a great deal, and the information and values you impart in leadership and management training have empowered me to handle some large transitions smoothly. I will take the learning with me and integrate it into my future work, for it has made a large impact on me. I cannot thank you enough Joel.”
(Heidi Grogan, Director, Servant’s Anonymous)
 
“I had to send you a thank you note today to tell you how much I enjoyed your workshop yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed your invigorating presentation style and admired your ability to get through so much material without compromising the excellent content. I particularly liked how you combined your personal philosophy with extensive research and experience and felt this resulted in a more authentic and practical workshop. Legacy is a wonderful name for the series, as this is what you and Advanture are leaving to participants—a legacy of being true to yourself as a manager and allowing your integrity and honesty to inspire your team to reach their full potential. I think this is a huge responsibility in today's workplace, and encourage you to keep doing what you're doing!”
(Theresa Jumpsen, Consultant, Forum People Solutions)
 
“[The tools] are proving invaluable as I change and as my business grows and develops.”
(Jonathan Coleman, Owner, Voda Corp.)
 
“I liked the use of stories and real life examples to drive relevant points home.”
(Glenn Black, National Account Manager, CMMI)
 
“The material is easy to apply to real life experiences.”
(Cameron Clay, Partner, Clay Robinson Insurance)
 
“I like how the information was presented. Lots of information to take in and that was made available to us. And if we wish to take it further, there is additional information for us in the toolkit.”
(Dean Rutherford, Account Manager, NewsWest Corp.)
 
“[I liked] the content. The facilitator delivered this session clearly with a multitude of helpful, practical ideas. I’m looking forward to the next one!”
(Alison Koch, Controller, Voda Corp.)
 
“This workshop was very relevant to what I do everyday. It gave me some new ideas and reinforced some of current practice.”
(Karen Atchison, Personnel Manager, Grand Casino)
 
“Looking at my work environment and fellow employees helps me find what is required of me. Just being a leader is too vague. [This workshop helped me] look at what other employees need.”
(Anita Butler, Logistics Coordinator, CHC Helicopters)
 
“It brought a number of items to my attention that I would not have discovered / realized by myself.”
(Ryan Erickson, Project Administrator, Kidco Construction)
 
“The techniques are practical and real.”
(Steven Pai, BC Hydro)
 
“Both topics were very timely with current activities at my workplace. The practical delivery and tools provided me with a quick win. Great materials. Well worth four hours.”
(Ben Banman, Best Buy Canada)
