The Critics Are Raving

 


"I wanted to let some time pass before giving you feedback on your program so I could see the true results of your work.

I am confident that a large part of the 20% improvement over the past year was related to the work we did with Trillium."  Robin McIntyre, Regional President, Rogers Communications Inc.

"Trillium Teams lead OCRI (our team, Board of Directors and members) through a process to develop a new Strategic Plan. Trillium Teams was very effective at engaging discussion, generating debate and leading us to a series of decisions.  They took the time to understand our business and they earned the respect of everyone who participated in the development of our new plan. They also made it fun and that was the truly hard part."  Jeffrey Dale, President & CEO, Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI)

"I have a Client Services Group, which is separated into several 'groups within the group'. I presented a very open mandate to Jill and Ruth. I wanted the group to work more as one. I was extremely impressed with how they organized a workshop, which included all 105 participants - it was three hours of non-stop learning and team building. The feedback from my team was 'When is the next workshop?'" Chris Clemens, Director of Client Services, MD Management Ltd

"Simply effective. We included the Trillium Teams Executive Workshop in our off-site strategic planning session; the results were outstanding. Ruth and Jill have a unique approach that made a great difference in our team development exercise and they facilitated conversations we don't often have." Joseph Nour, CEO, Protus IP Solutions

Very well facilitated.” Workshop Participant, Manager, Environmental Assessment Division, Environment Canada

"Trillium Teams did an excellent job in conducting an extremely beneficial and engaging team-building workshop for us. The exercise to understand each other's communication styles using the DISC assessment was beneficial on two levels.  First, it enabled each of us to better understand our teammates' styles and served as a basis to get to know each other.  Secondly, and in the long-run, it makes us aware of our own communication styles, as well as those of others, to better and more effectively communicate with each other moving forward." Mark Frank, VP of Customer Care, Intermap Technologies Inc.

"The Team Coaching Process was a truly positive experience!" Holly McKenzie, Project Manager, Canadian Management Centre

"Gaining an understanding of our differences in styles through the Trillium Teams Team Coaching Process is like getting a key to unlock the team's potential. Suddenly an inability to communicate and the resulting tension between team members can be so obviously perceived as a difference in styles. We can now see that no one style is right or wrong and can appreciate why different people may go through a very different process to get the same results." Cathy Smith, Director of Finance, Protus IP Solutions

"The truth is I have been to quite a few of these types of workshops in the past, and they amounted to little more than feel good sessions that had little or no lasting impact. I was skeptical going in. I was both relieved and impressed in short order. Jill and Ruth did not go through the motions of a canned presentation but rather facilitated real time dialog that was meaningful and useful. I can honestly say that I look forward to seeing them again." Joey Gunn, Car Broker, Cars Made Easy

"Team building events are fun and allow people to get to know and trust each other. We tend to be ‘more forgiving’ and ‘more accepting’ of our co-workers when we have experienced a fun event that is outside of the workplace. The team building workshops that you offer combine fun with increased insight into different personalities, styles, and group dynamics." Jessie Morim, Human Resources Business Partner, Cadence Design Systems

 

"Ruth and Jill were very easy to speak with, open in their discussions and informed to assist." Janice Tanton, Program Production Manager, The Banff Centre

 

"Working with Trillium Teams gave me some real insights, about myself and how others might view me. It’s amazing to look in the mirror every now and then. I believe everyone should do this to understand how they are perceived by others. It’s really helped me rethink the way I work with some people in order to make the relationship as effective as possible. Jill and Ruth were terrific at facilitating the assessment results and linking them to my reality."  Jennifer Campbell, Learning Business Consultant, KPMG

 

"There are several firms in the field that offer team building workshops – I have worked with many of them.

I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking to reveal the best in their organization."  Dennis Moseley-Williams, Consultant, Pareto Systems

  

"Trillium Teams provided an informative and comfortable training environment." Lynn Ewell, Graphic Production Manager, Canadian Management Centre 

"The Trillium Teams' assessment of my work and communication style was both eye-opening and remarkably accurate!  It has been tremendously helpful in guiding me toward the areas where my greatest strengths lie and understanding interaction with others. Our session left me with a greater understanding not only of myself, but also of how this knowledge can help me thrive with others in my work environment." Brigit Ramsingh, Research Assistant, McMaster University
