Heather Hines, MA
Our office [of the Vice-President & Principal, University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus] had the pleasure of working with Suzannah Kelly for a high-performing teams workshop. Suzannah’s helpful pre-workshop assessment not only helped guide the workshop content but also encouraged participants to begin thoughtfully engaging with the workshop material. Throughout the morning, Suzannah encouraged, supported and challenged us as we explored our workplace interactions and culture. The session was a great success and left us with practical strategies we could incorporate into our daily activities. I recommend her unreservedly and am confident that those engaging her services will be as pleased as we were with the outcome.
