Thank you so much for your presentation at our Leadership Forum Retreat. I just wanted to thank you personally and let you know that our staff cannot stop talking about your presentation. Some of them tell me that they were changed personally and are incorporating their learnings into their work and home life. One staff even made sure she had a “tada” moment in a meeting today. Another told me that you helped her to take a look at her recent behaviour and realize she needs to change how she has been reacting to situations. They were all impressed with your knowledge of us as an organization and as individuals.
Amanda Bjorn, Director, Learning and Development Providence Healthcare

On behalf of the Nurse to Nurse Conference Planning Committee, I would like to thank you for your presentation “Wit, Fit and Balance…Strategies for Success”. You demonstrated tremendous ability to connect with our staff. With your nursing insight and humour, our nurses were left with practical strategies to balance their personal and work lives. We are very fortunate to have experts such as yourself help nurses rediscover their energy, purpose and passion.
Nancy Fram, RN, BScN, Med Vice President Professional Affairs and Chief Nursing Executive Hamilton Health Sciences

We should have Meg come every year. I firmly believe that having fun together creates a positive environment for more open communication and collaboration. It also creates a trusting climate where issues could be more easily addressed. The topic and the way it was delivered made a lasting positive impression.
Attendee at the All Staff Retreat Carlington Community Health Centre Ottawa, Ontario

Meg Soper's presentation to the Toronto Public Health management team was enlightening, wonderful, creative, inspiring, funny, helpful, informative... She came fully prepared and was able to convey to the group that she had some insight in to our workplace culture. She had a group of over 150 people engaged throughout the presentation. They were laughing, sharing, fully participating. The TPH leadership team took away some tools/ strategies on dealing with people who might not necessarily be difficult, rather just different. There was also some insight in to our own strengths, and challenges that we may need to address to be more effective leaders.
