TESTIMONIALS from Clients
"We have had so many of our students share how much they appreciated your presentation. Your talk had a big impact." University of Brandon - Faculty of Education professor "Your teachings, your kind listening and hearing, your support and expertise and your warm personal style. You touched my heart." 17 year employee and Supervisor of Community Counselling program. "Thank you very much for your help during this transition time ! You are a wonderful mentor and I've learnt so much from you !" Social Worker with immigrant seniors services "I’m not exaggerating to say that Kelly Sloan changed my work-life. Before she started, I was confused, stressed, frustrated and considering my leave-taking of an agency I’ve worked with for over 15 years. I now feel I can let go of difficult times and move on with my “old” confidence. Kelly’s presence is calming, her communication skills are admirable and her in-depth understanding and experience of “how things work and don’t work” is a gift. Watching her operate has been an inspiration to me, and as a front-line worker I want to thank her for her responsive and non-judgmental listening skills, her interest in my program, and her kindness." Intercultural Facilitator and Community Connector for Non- Profit Agency I learned a lot about not only how the Association runs but how I do things in my own life. Highly recommend. New Board member for regulatory Health organization I enjoyed Kelly's way of getting us engaged in discussion and eliciting thoughts and responses from us to develop a strategic plan. Board member for regulatory Health organization |
