Testimonials
"All of the staff who attended Ingrid’s Congratulations You're a Supervisor workshop were very happy with the program. Participants provided such positive feedback about the first workshop, it prompted us to offer a second, follow up session. We intend to run this program again as many employees have requested the opportunity to take the workshop after hearing about the success of the first series. We intend to make this a requirement for all of our entry level supervisory positions in the future."
- Delcy Wells, Director of Human Resources, School District No. 62 (Sooke)
"The workbook was excellent, and I appreciated having something to take home with me so I could refer to it again and again. I found it particularly valuable to realize that I always have choices when I face stressful situations, and have even taught my husband those tools which he has been able to use in his own business. Thank you for an insightful, thought-provoking seminar!"
- Susan Sandmark, Douglas College

"I attend a lot of seminars, and Ingrid is one of the most fun and dynamic trainers I’ve ever experienced. She presents the material from a knowledgeable perspective in a way that’s fun for all the participants. She is able to balance professional presentation with personal interaction, and addresses the concerns of participants insightfully, in a way that benefits everyone. My staff have benefited greatly from the training we received, and we plan to continue using Ingrid for our professional development activities in the future."
