Inge is on my speed dial for those times my team is feeling stuck. She can “trick” you into thinking in new ways and help you break through barriers you never thought possible.
Jennifer Ball, Senior Vice President, Marketing at Franklin Templeton Investments
Inge is a remarkably insightful and creative thinker. She helped me work through a complex business problem to find clarity and focus. I was then able to successfully present a new way of looking at an old problem, which opened the door for new solutions. Inge's skills were invaluable in getting me unstuck!
Barbara Wilson, Manager, Adult Member Support, Girl Guides of Canada
Inge was instrumental in helping our teams breakdown the barriers we had built that were preventing us from moving forward ... She got us UNSTUCK. Moreover, the process was time efficient and very effective in building commitment for the action plan we created.
Bruce Butterill, former Vice President New Product Development at the Canadian Depository for Securities
At the start of our collaboration in 2003, Inge and I had a conversation about the Willow Stream brand. She translated my stories into a few compelling and concise messages that communicate "brand" to employees at any level, in any country. These messages are now the foundation of our Orientation and operational training programs which Inge also created with us. Together, we've made it possible for trainers at our spas around the world to teach fellow employees how to live the brand and maintain a profitable spa. Inge is an invaluable partner to our business.
Anne McCall-Wilson, Vice President, Spas, Fairmont Raffles Hotels International
We've grown rapidly from one North American spa brand to four international brands; we've had to change the way we deliver training as a result. Inge distilled a massive amount of background material and helped us engineer a generic training template that could be easily customized to new spa brands as they evolved. Along the way we streamlined our international operations procedure. The scope of work was overwhelming and Inge's collaboration made it manageable.
Ruth Armstrong, Director, Spa Integration and Operations, Spas, Fairmont Raffles Hotels International
Inge is a pleasure to work with. Her creativity and problem solving ability helped my team to deliver results on time. I have learned new ways of thinking and approaching a business problem by using Inge’s techniques.
Margaret Gunarsons, former Marketing Director at AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals
I have had the pleasure of working with Inge for close to 20 years. While Inge is a strategic and a "big picture" thinker, she also ensures no detail is overlooked. With my needs always her first priority, she has always helped to ensure my success and that of the organization.
Peter Watson, former Director of Corporate Training of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
I worked with Inge when I was the team lead for a large cross functional team at AstraZeneca. She helped us quickly identify our issues, focus on our big goals and commit to success measures. The insights gained through working with Inge became part of the norm and as a team we demonstrated some noticeable behavior changes. The offsite sessions were not just ways to spend a fun day away from the office; they created learning that lives on.
Karen Brennen, Group Marketing Manager, Biogen Idec Canada
During my time at CDS, Inge helped us "see" the whole process -- forest and trees -- so we could get buy-in from everyone. We avoided fingerpointing and achieved wins for everyone.
Barbara Amsden, Director, Strategy and Research at The Investment Funds Institute of Canada
By taking ownership of process improvements from conception, our employees are inspired to accept and maintain them. Customer service standards are now seen as a culmination of employee ideas - and a point of pride - rather than something mandated by management.
Kelly Summerfield, former Manager at the Royal Bank Business Services Centre
We were energized by the process and quickly learned to 'ignore the barriers', developing innovative, effective strategies and positive solutions. The Idea Bank developed by the team has evolved into an interactive, dynamic tool, stimulating a process of continuous, creative improvements.
Kathy Glazer-Chow, former Manager at the Royal Bank Business Services Centre
I’ve been privileged to work
with smart, inspired people who are
driven to improve the way things work
in their organizations. Everyday
I learn something new about
people and business. Wow.
