"Liz (the Executive Director) and I are so grateful for the tremendous growth in our knowledge around fundraising and development that has been a result of your consulting with us. Thank you so much for your inspiration to both staff and board members about the importance for all of us to contribute financially to the Crisis Lines. Your skill in educating about the importance of board and staff supporting our organization is so important, yet you manage to do this education in such a gentle, respectful manner."

I was looking for significant results--help with key decisions and tangible progress. I got that and more in a relatively short period of time. I not only gained important insights, but I've come away with valuable tools I can use. George's candor, straightforward approach, warmth, ability to quickly identify the issues and to build trust make him an exceptional coach. I highly recommend him to anyone committed to making significant change in their business and/or personal lives.

Michele Pankratz, Principal, CHANGES Consulting Services Ltd.

George sets the standard for group facilitation. His high level of energy, his deep understanding of people and his sense of humour make him a natural teacher and facilitator.

Jim Heppell, Partner, Catalyst Corporate Finance Lawyers

Your personal style and inclusive approach made the members of the organization feel that they had valid opportunities to speak up, be heard and respected. The process itself actually became an excellent team and morale-building opportunity.

Your organizational development recommendations for volunteer involvement, decision-making processes, service delivery and organizational structure are logical and yet exciting. When implemented, I believe they will result in an organization that will serve our clients and community in a more efficient and effective manner.
