Testimonials

"Having Performance Management Academy work with our team was the best decision we could make. Together, we learned the importance of being a good manager – armed with useful information, practical tools and a common language to bring forward as we work to improve the quality of our interactions with one another and our staff. Our facilitator was very skilled and took every opportunity to take our comments and questions about present day situations in our work place, and put them in the context of the useful information we were learning through the course. It was interesting, engaging, and allowed us a whole new perspective on why, as managers, “how” we do something is just as important as “what” we do. I would recommend this workshop to any organization that values its employees and workplace health and productivity."

"As a manager of many years in different sectors of employment (e.g.; First Nations, Federal Government, Provincial Government and Private Sector) and having attended Management Training courses over the years, this three day (3-day) course was the most informative and motivational and provided the proper tools and knowledge on how to improve as managers. The Facilitator was most accommodating and I felt that all the people who participated felt very comfortable with him. He was very down to earth and extremely entertaining with his presentation style."
