Think On Your Feet® had the most significant impact on getting me to actually think on my feet. Highly practical and effective. I would recommend it to everyone, not just those who think they need it because there is something for everyone to gain. Susan was the best and really made the workshop.

Britt Martin, Manager, Cont. Improvement, VP Corp

Think on Your Feet® was really useful for organizing the chaos and creativity in my brain. I tend to get so flooded with ideas and they never come out of my mouth clearly. I’m so grateful to have some organizing principles and tools to put the creative ideas through.

Elenna Mosoff, CEO, The Mission Business, Inc.

Think On Your Feet® is the most challenging, enlightening and practical training session I have ever experienced. Highly recommended for anyone hoping to advance their career.

Think On Your Feet® is a great program with relevant, useful information that I plan to apply to my professional and personal life. Susan is a great instructor. Content was engaging and the class flowed well.

Akilah Dressekie, External Communications Advisor, Endbridge Inc.

I took Think On Your Feet® to prepare for multiple mini interviews for applying to the Ontario Veterinary College for the DVM program. I found the strategies were taught really well and were useful in structuring my thoughts and answers. I really think it will help me quickly think of answers and bridging will definitely help to buy me time and make me look thoughtful when thinking of the answers. It was fantastic and really worth it!

Claudia Takahashi, Student at University of Guelph

Great course! Very practical and learned many useful tips for communicating in business situations. The practice exercises were very useful and allowed the participants to become comfortable with putting the techniques into practice. I’ll recommend Think On Your Feet® to others in my organization.

Kim Wardle, Manager, Broadband, Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)

Think On Your Feet® is a great workshop. Practical theories and lots of opportunities to practice in a comfortable, no stress, small-group environment. Lots of fun. Memorable and easy to apply at work and in everyday life situations. Susan is a great facilitator, offering so many examples and prompting us to think of our own examples from our own workplaces.

Patricia Lee, Sr. Audit Manager, City of Toronto

Think On Your Feet® is engaging and grounded, with real-world applications.

Jacqui Gilchrist, Senior Director, Marketing, ProQuest

Having a structured approach to speaking takes a number of strategies, which I informally deploy and makes them more concrete and tailored. Also, I love the Think On Your Feet® section on analogies! I always notice leaders in my organization using analogies and have struggled with coming up with them on my own. Great, practical tips!

Laura Overton, Global Sustainability Insights Manager, Mars Inc.

Think On Your Feet® is a great workshop for so many reasons but will apply my learning and name 3 benefits:

1) INFORMATIVE – tools and tips galore!

2) PRACTICAL – lots of practice

3) FUN – activities, met new people, not at work 😉

Tara Lynne Franco, Operations Lead/ Senior Policy Advisor, Government of Ontario

Think On Your Feet® has great course material. Great delivery from Susan (the Facilitator).

Hartley Springman, Manager, Ministry of Energy

The Think On Your Feet® workshop was great! Susan is a very knowledgeable instructor who dictates the pace of the session well. The workshop is well structured with a nice mix of information, presentation and group activity. The group games help a lot in embedding the course theories and highlighting how we can use them in everyday life. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their conversation and discussion skills, especially at work.

Fazle Chowdhury, Assistant Supervisor, First National Financial

Great course. Think on Your Feet® is very interactive and brings a system to participants so we could master the art of communication and message delivery. Highly recommend it to anyone that wants to improve their verbal communications to bring Clarity, Brevity and Impact®.

Jack Hung, Senior Manager, TD Bank Group

Think On Your Feet® has very great value in my future connections with colleague and employers. Very good approach; both one-on-one and as a whole group.

Francis Carpentier, Internal Auditor, Emco Corporation

Think On Your Feet® is a very good course! Teacher is very good and is able to bring examples to get her point out. Material is very well organized. No overload of information. Great training!

Sebastien Dalgo, Software Developer, Autodesk

I’ve learned some great tools as part of Think On Your Feet® to take my presentation skills to the next level. There were lots of opportunities during the course to practice using these tools.

Lisa Cho, Senior Director, Corporate Development, CIBC

Think On Your Feet® got me to think outside the box about forming ideas and showing them concisely. The group work was key — allowing theory to be put into practice.

Roxanne Lutz, Marketing Communications Specialist, Great-West Life

Think On Your Feet® is so helpful for people of all industries and levels. It improves communication for everything from executive presentations to administrative assistance, improved gatekeeping and all levels in between.

Tracy Graf, Marketing Director, Life Time Fitness

Sally (the facilitator) was exceptional! I learned so much from her the last two days. The information presented in Think On Your Feet® was clear, relevant and applicable in my world. I hope/look forward to take more opportunities to learn from her again.

Kristen Hogan, Senior Manager, Patient Support Program, Intercept Pharma Canada, Inc.

Learned a lot of great ideas in Think On Your Feet® to improve my communication skills and interpersonal interactions with co-workers and customers during the whole course. Darren did an excellent job presenting the material along with real life examples to help drive home the point.

Texas Instruments,

The most effective aspects of Think On Your Feet® were the many practice sessions. There was a lot of great material to be learned and these helped to solidify and make me feel comfortable with them. As time progressed, I was able to see a big improvement in the processes in which I structured answers to questions.

Texas Instruments,

Think On Your Feet® is a very interesting course! I particularly enjoyed the interactive sessions and the instructor’s use of exercises within the courses that helped me better understand the material. The instructor also did real life examples during class showing the techniques really work! Would definitely recommend the course to others.

Texas Instruments,

Darren was one of the best instructors I’ve ever had for a course at Texas Instruments. He really made the course interesting and effective and on the fly was able to tailor it to the specific lessons each individual was trying to get out of Think On Your Feet®.

Texas Instruments,

Think On Your Feet® has a great framework to build up your skills through interactive exercises and apply new concepts right away. I love the way it is organized and how it was organized and facilitated.

Texas Instruments,

The workshop’s key concept is how to think about the structure of an oral presentation as you are speaking. This is tremendously useful. Think On Your Feet® does a good job of presenting one powerful technique. The exercises were challenging and did a good job reinforcing the material. The instructor was excellent: informative, engaging, and effective.

Texas Instruments,

Think On Your Feet® is very informative. Achieved my learning objective. Taught in a very controlled; methodical way, conducive to digesting easily!

Kathryn Elliot, Senior Program Manager, House of Commons Amazing!

Great investment for personal and professional growth! Great energy and enthusiasm from the facilitator. Nicely organized content. Group work was helpful in reinforcing the learning. Thank you Think On Your Feet®!

Wojtek Jackiewicz, Senior Manager, CIBC

Think On Your Feet® was excellent. It will allow me to structure thoughts and responses based on techniques I learned in the course.

Hammad Khan, Integrated Business Planning Manager and Demand Planning Manager, Mars Inc., Royal Canin Course was excellent

Think on Your Feet® has definitely been on the back of my mind ever since I took the course! It’s made me share my story in different perspectives; as shown on the cube! This has kept me accountable for keeping an open mind to others’ stories, customer/mentor feedback and also keep new conversations interesting. When you’re at a networking event, you’re typically hit with the same questions and everyone’s expecting similar responses… but not from me 🙂

Renishaki Kamal, Founder & CEO Fidget Toys, Ltd. Testimonial

This development course was useful for a variety of reasons. It was well organized material that can be applied not only to speaking, but writing as well. The interaction and activity between participants was a great way to showcase the theory in practical, real world situations. Moreover, it helps build confidence and conviction when you need to deliver messages either verbal or written. Our course instructor, Susan, did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and delivered the curriculum in a thought provoking way. I would recommend Think On Your Feet® for anyone who is interested in building confidence or sharpening their communication skills.

Rick Seymour, Regional Manager North America, Xref

When making presentations, I used to be unconfident during the presentation even if I have prepared for it. Think on Your Feet® provided me with a simple tool to structure my presentation and thoughts, scaling down the seemingly complex content to simple structures provided by Think on Your Feet®.

Anonymous,

Think On Your Feet® taught more how to have more impactful conversations. The tools that are taught during the training are simple and Susan is an engaging facilitator. At the end of the course, I felt that I had an anchor to go to during conversations and felt in control during those 30-second elevator pitches. I would recommend this course to anyone that values their own development and the development of the employees in their organization.

Georgia Lihnaki, Human Resources Manager, IPEX Impactful

The Think On Your Feet® workshop provided me with the tools to confidently organize my presentations, emails and off the cuff Q&A responses to be more methodically, sound and clearer to my audiences. The skills also transcend into my daily life too. Two days very well spent!

Kate Millard, Marketing Consultant Advertising and Media, Intact

I now structure almost all written and oral presentations using the techniques I learned in the Think On Your Feet® workshop.

Anonymous,

I participated in Think On Your Feet® in the winter as part of my on-boarding with my new company and I loved everything about this course. The instructor was knowledgeable and professional and the content was extremely useful. I only wish I had taken this course a few years ago when I just graduated from college.

Milica S, HR Coordinator FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Very useful. You learn a lot in two days that can be brought immediately back to work. It’s ideal for anyone who does a lot of public speaking or works with clients and colleagues. Definitely will recommend Think On Your Feet® to my company.

Mike Vitos, Financial Analyst Learned a lot

The skills I learned in Think On Your Feet® will be applied every day in my career. I work with a lot of clients and many times I am forced to answer questions I am not prepared for. After this course I saw immediate results and feel more confident when I’m put on the spot. It’s great for public speaking and it’s finally taught me to SLOW DOWN, collect my thoughts and be better on my feet. Thanks for the course! It was super helpful 🙂

AJ Nunez, Account Manager Great course

Think On Your Feet® is of the best courses I’ve ever had the opportunity to attend. Easy to understand, and also easy to use in any situation.

François Alexandre, Account Executive, CN Railway

Salespeople need to be able to think on their feet ‘everywhere and every time’. This programme helps them build that skill by fine-tuning their ability to structure their ideas and present them persuasively with clarity and impact. In short, Think On Your Feet® makes a difference.

Gary DM Chow, President, Commercial Business, PCCW

Think On Your Feet® is the cure for rambling speakers. In meetings, presenters can make their point much faster. Managers can use the tools to help staff focus on issues of the day. Content experts can articulate their message in a manner that is listener-centric.

Richard Arsenault, Senior Learning Consultant, John Hancock Financial Services

My job requires me to quickly find persuasive arguments. Think On Your Feet® training has given me a toolbox I can draw upon in an emergency communication situation, for example, to adapt to a context, a particular type of person, and a specific topic.

Isabelle Brun-Buisson, Marketing Manager, CCIG

Amazing course! I took Think On Your Feet® in October of 2015 and continue to use it every day. It helps me stay focused, structured and allows me to communicate with my colleagues efficiently. Loved it!

Ashley,
