Joy-Spot: The Art & Science of Happiness at Work
“Many new little initiatives have been started and talked about since the day you were here. People are passing around the thank you and I’m sorry cards (we did a big o’ pile of them). K has promised to start up her 15 minute yoga class again.”
- Al Vinni, Lawyer/Owner, McMurray Law Office
"You have renewed an energy in our organization that we have not seen in sometime. Our employees have been overwhelmingly busy this past year and it was breathtaking and very encouraging to see the interaction and spirit that was in the room the day of your presentation.
Your skills as a presenter and motivator are spectacular. You were able to get employees up, moving and laughing on a Monday morning – that takes talent! To get a resident to cross the room and present an “invisible balloon” to a staff member was heartfelt and shows what life is truly about."
—Theresa MacFadyen, Coordinator, Human Resources & Robyn Bentley, Human Resources Advisor
"The comments collected at the end of each session told us that this was a HUGE success, not only because of the large audience it attracted, but also because of the organizational learning around wellness that took place.

"From the very beginning of the planning process you demonstrated great enthusiasm and interest in our project, and invested large amounts of time in learning about our project. You then custom designed a day-long program of activities, workshops and exercises. The feedback from all participants was uniformly positive, and for me personally the day far exceeded my most optimistic expectations."

"Thank you for facilitating a wonderful workshop for us at our professional development event. Your facilitation skills are superb and provided a safe and supportive atmosphere for some real learning and possibility of change. Not only was the workshop fun and interactive but also your content was precise, easy to remember and we had a chance to practice and develop real skill. The Can We Talk? workshop on conflict resolution provided us all with tools for dealing with the emotions and conflicts that are inevitable in a workplace. All of us enjoyed the workshop and we hope to use your expertise in future sessions."
