What People Are Saying...

"I wanted to let you know that everyone loved the training and your facilitation!  My staff commented on how “down to earth” you were…how you broke up the day with some lecturing and then some practice, how you self-disclosed in areas that were very relevant to the material being covered, how you made it fun and they never felt bored throughout the two days.  Of course they also commented on how “she really knows her stuff!!”  Clara Fischer, Career Planning Service

 
 
“Sandra has been a tremendous asset assisting with the facilitation of our in-house management training programs over the past two years. Sandra has been able to grasp the intricacies of our ever growing businesses consisting of 116 Community & Daily Newspapers, Magazine publishing, Consumer Show’s, Directories and Internet Portals. Her ability to truly listen and facilitate productive dialogue in numerous sessions covering a large variety of topics from new manager sessions to hiring & developing top talent, coaching, motivation, communication, managing tasks and priorities, positive discipline, leadership and change management has helped to empower our manager’s in facing the daily challenges of this dynamic industry.” Bill Crawley, Metroland Media Group
 
“I have had the pleasure of experiencing Sandra's work in two ways - once as a speaker at her Leadership Expo and the other as a member of the board for a training advisory who used her services to organise a conference. In both cases she displays a great ability to identify the key themes and content, effectively manage the project and produce fantastic results. You cannot go wrong in using her.”  Paul Copcutt, Square Peg Solution

 
“Sandra’s passion for achieving customer outcomes, her professionalism, excellent facilitation skills and her sense of humour are just a few of the qualities that contribute to her being one of the best in the business.”  Kristine Clark,  Ministry of Transportation
 

“Sandra Summerhayes is a dynamic, skilled facilitator who has the ability to function as the ‘chameleon’ of the group to engage individuals with diverse experiences, styles and preferences. She works with the customer to design and deliver meaningful, relevant learning experiences.”  Fiona Peacefull, The Regional Municipality of Niagara


“I have been a fortunate participant in a number of training sessions facilitated by Sandra Summerhayes. In one instance, the training was very specific to a work team and their unique needs. Sandra was able to engage everyone in attendance – even those who had been somewhat reluctant to attend – and worked with all of us to improve our team building skills and sparked both our enthusiasm and corporate creativity. In another instance, I was a large group participant at a conference designed and presented by Sandra to meet the training and retention needs of Niagara area employers. It was quite incredible to see an entire room engaged in exercises designed to show the value of humour in the workplace and to a person be on their feet, motivated to participate and learn.” Karen Schmidt, Business Education Council of Niagara
