TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

Krista McVeigh, General Manager - OzTrekk

"Wylie was instrumental in helping me to land on my feet as a new leader within my organization. There are common challenges that most new managers face, especially when being promoted from within a company, and Wylie helped me to overcome a couple of big ones. For me, it was the daunting new world of navigating personal and professional relationships with coworkers who suddenly become direct reports, as well as finding my voice at a leadership table where everyone seemed to have significantly more experience and value. Imposter syndrome weighed heavily on me to say the least, and through Wylie’s self-reflective process, I was able identify and lean on my strengths with confidence and give myself permission to genuinely practice humility as I worked through learning in my new role. Here I am 5 years later, and I still find myself applying the tools Wylie has given me in both my personal and professional life!"

Lee Smith, Manager of Strategy & Planning - Community Living Toronto

“As the manager of strategy and planning, I had the pleasure of working with Wylie on our Human Resources strategic plan for Community Living Toronto. This was the first time our department was formally writing a strategic plan, which she was able to develop from scratch. Her expertise exceeded our expectations as she was always available for additional working sessions and workshops to ensure everyone was comfortable moving forward. Wylie was not only reliable and resourceful, she was flexible and understanding. She was a delight to work with – a team player with a a positive attitude from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again if the opportunity arose.”

Joe Persaud, Director of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion - Community Living Toronto

“It was a total pleasure to work with Wylie. I particularly liked that she took the time to explain the process we were about to engage in with respect to strategic and operational planning, so our team were all aligned and in a way that we could all understand and be highly engaged to co-create a product that we could all feel a sense of shared ownership after we were set on our path to success.“

David Connors, Manager Network and Enterprise Services - WSIB

"I had the pleasure of participating in a course facilitated by Wylie, whose friendly and welcoming demeanor created an environment where I always looked forward to our sessions. She was able to foster deeper discussions among us. This approach not only encouraged active participation but also enriched our collective learning. Wylie was consistently responsive, providing prompt follow-ups that demonstrated a genuine commitment to our progress. Her infectious positivity made each conversation enjoyable and left a lasting impact on my professional development."

Leah Bartlett - Ontario Health

"We worked with Wylie to facilitate a team building day in the winter. The staff included long-standing employees and brand-new staff, in a mix of positions. The organization we worked for was fairly new and we had been challenged with a lot of staff turnover and high stress deadlines. The session brought us all closer together, as Wylie facilitated activities that encouraged sharing authentically and pushed us to focus on our collective strengths. Maybe more importantly, Wylie’s session gave us some new language and concepts we could use when we were having conflict. Afterwards, some staff mentioned they had been applying their new learning in their personal lives as well. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wylie again, especially if I had a team working through some conflict.”

Dave Bush, Strategic People & Culture Leader
