with Potentials Unlimited for over 5 years at three different organizations.
The firm has assisted us in facilitating our executive team strategy
and planning sessions, as well as providing team and leadership
development, and executive coaching skills. What I appreciate most
is their rare blend of sensitivity to different group dynamics and
courage to 'tell it like it is'. They work with senior people in
a supportive way but never forget that 'management's job is to make
money for the shareholders'".

“Our
approach to leadership development is one which favours highly customized
material and Phil was very effective at working with us to develop
just such a custom session. He is a strong facilitator and a very
effective listener. These skills enabled him to draw the best from
our executive team in developing our session on performance management
as a key leadership tool. In delivering the work he connected very
well with everyone and received high praise from many of the 80
or so people who participated in the sessions. I would recommend
him highly to anyone wishing to develop the leadership capacity
of a management team”.

"Thank
you Phil for facilitating our leadership team retreat. It had a
tremendous impact. I found you to be passionate, enthusiastic, customer
focused, and compassionate. You moved the group clearly towards
outcomes without compromising the process or our relationships.
You modeled excellence in communication - listening well, ensuring
full participation from all team members and providing candid, clear
and useful feedback to myself and to other team members.
In summary, you are an expensive duck, but deliver the value I demand.
I would rather pay more for a quality service that meets or exceeds
expectations than save money up front and not get the results I
want."
Gordon Aker, P.Eng
Director, Wild Rose Region
TransCanada
"Phil and
his team helped us understand the strengths that each person brings
to the team and how to build on those strengths to make our teams
more effective. The difference is very evident in the level of collaboration
and openness that we now routinely achieve."
Richard Nakoneczny
Chief Information Officer
Manitoba Credit Union Central
“Our
team found the workshop to be extremely useful. One of the team
members was very cynical going into the day, we had tried these
types of assessments in the past, and in his opinion were a waste
of time. By mid-morning, when he received his Insights Assessment,
he was in shock, he felt it was so accurate. The sharing of styles
was so beneficial, so many "now I know why you do that" and "I'll
try not to do that any more" from everyone.
The
impact of the session was experienced immediately. We successfully
executed the resolution of a major issue on a critical project.
We worked as a team, all keeping in mind our "dos" and "don'ts" of
communicating. As well, my observation was that everyone was
conscious of everyone else's preferred style. The approach
on the issue at hand was excellent.
Everyone
found Phil to be full of "insight", no
pun intended. Phil has excellent observation/listening skills,
as well as the ability to summarize and provide constructive
feedback during the discussions.”
