Customer Feedback

Advice from Grads to New Participants…

“The coaching was great. I got a vast amount of material delivered in a short amount of time.”

“Being new to a leading position, I had a lot of questions that I was scared to ask, for fear of being shunned, but this course allowed me to openly ask these questions.”

“I learned about managing my time – to organize my load. Reducing time wasters, and finding time to grow and learn. Working with People—everyone is different (diversity); and to use these differences to everyone’s advantage.”

“Related-topic discussion with The Coach helped me and others to work together to brainstorm and come up with ideas directly related to our workplace.”

“Come in with an open mind and you will learn a great deal from this course.”

“Use this time wisely... Get focused on the material... Take notes...  Apply the ideas!”

Building Our Team

"This program opened our eyes. I like how the team members are learning to help each other solve problems and share challenges You have made a significant contribution here. Of all the many courses I have taken in my career of over thirty years, the style of this program is the best. It encourages people to speak up and learn from each other." 

Better Organized

"Being better organized, I have more family time, time to coach my son’s soccer team and meet the parents of children on the team. It is wonderful, our family is happier."  

More Time in Front of Customers

"I have more time to spend with new and existing clients. This change happened because I learned how to work more effectively with the office and plant managers."  

Better Delegation and More Family Time

"Workplace Champion is showing me how to delegate my work, even with less staff. My team is now better prepared and wants to have the added responsibility. This change is giving me more time with my daughters, and that is worth the world to me.”

A More Effective Way to Train People

"Workplace Champion and your approach are very different from other programs we have had. I can see from the results that you go to their level and got them to open up. This course has more than paid for itself. I am VERY pleased with what you have accomplished."

Enhanced Self-Confidence

"I am writing to say how satisfied and pleased I am with the course I took with you over the past couple of months. I feel I have attained a level of self-confidence I did not have before and now see myself performing more effectively in my role of Office Manager and Comptroller.

You took the time to listen to me and learn about me and I always felt good about myself after our Tuesday morning sessions; I will miss these sessions. You have the gift of working with people.

Thank you for everything I have learned from you and Champions in the Workplace.” 

Better Production by Following a Process to Coach My Staff

"Now I am spending one hour a week training individuals, giving them concentrated training sessions. Before this program, I trained my staff ad hoc.  Now I give each trainee my FULL attention until I know he understands. This is reducing my stress because the employee understands what he has to. Also I am staying calm when communicating, rather than being confrontational. I have learned that some things are just out of my control and not to worry. I feel less stress at home and work.”

“You speak to the heart!”

Confidence, Skills and Performance Improved

"Practicing these skills each week generated a confidence level I personally have never seen with other programs. Every week, throughout the program, I generated a better skill level.

The end results are continuing to be impressive for my business. New levels of achievement and standards of performance are being reached.

Thanks go to “Champions in the Workplace” for my success.”

Managing Time More Effectively

"Combining the workbook with the “One on One” sessions has provided me with the tools to effectively prioritize my time and build better working relationships with my teammates.

I have also found the sessions to be very beneficial. John has a unique ability to talk to people and explain courses of action, both in dealing with tasks, but especially in dealing with people, that is relevant, easy to put into action and right for the subject at hand.”

Employees Promoted Due to Workplace Champion Program

"Our company is going through major changes. Workplace Champion made it possible for each team member to take on their new roles. As I have been promoted to manage a larger plant, one of the participants is ready to assume my position. Another participant now has the organizational skills to work at our head office to create a national inventory management system. My team works together because they understand one another and they manage their staff in a more uniform way. Workplace Champion took the workload off me in managing this facility so that I could focus on the bigger picture. Because of these successes Bruce Renton will be offering the same program in the new and significantly larger distribution centre.”

Dramatic Improvements in Supervisory Behaviour

"As you recall I approached you on some of the problems we were having in our operations department. My operations manager Steve was under excessive job pressure. Communication, stress and organizing staff were becoming difficult due to increased workloads.

Since completing this course, Steve has improved many times over. Where he was spending a lot of time putting out fires, he now is able to prevent them. Where he once was impatient with staff, he now directs their energy. Where he was once thought of as too hard on staff, he is now known for what he truly is, an intelligent, caring, motivated, human being.

He has taken great strides in personal growth through your course. Everyone here thanks you.”   [Steve’s boss]

Less Stress

"My desk is organized, I feel relaxed just walking into my office , jobs are listed, and I spend less time handling paper. Because I am more efficient in my office I have more time on the shop floor to develop greater trust and teamwork with my people. It is more positive at home, my family sees a difference."  

These are the people for whom we exist, and after whom our company is named. These are real champions in the workplace: Our Clients!!!
