Government Organization

"Joanna facilitated a change management simulation at our annual senior leadership retreat, which was the highlight of the event. Joanna took a lot of time in advance of the workshop to get to know our organizational vision, values and strategic goals, which she incorporated brilliantly into the post-simulation debrief.

She was able to incorporate all of the leadership development work we had done the previous year into the change simulation, making it a meaningful and memorable experience. Joanna's expertise in change management, coupled with her enthusiasm and professionalism made her a delight to work with!"

the coaching studio

Methanex

Chemical Corporation

"I love when they say ‘hmm this sounds similar to a past experience…’ we feel like we’re learning from the collective learning of other companies."

We’ve been working with The Coaching Studio for 5-7 years through High-Impact Coaching and Live 360-Degree Feedback. Leadership development is important to us, and no matter what season of business we are in, our relationships continue to be strong with The Coaching Studio. They understand the importance of helping our employees perform the best they can through challenges, and they understand that we want our team to succeed both in work and in life. With any partnership, you want to ensure that your partners are an extension of you in terms of values and drivers – and we have that in spades with The Coaching Studio – combining these traits with their expertise is pure magic and we’re so grateful for that.

the coaching studio

Teradici

Software Company

"The Coaching Studio made it easy for me to trust that they are leading and facilitating programs for leadership development the way that I would."

Our company has always been collaborative with involved leaders and passionate teams. We’d coached our teams internally, but there was never a formal leadership program. We collectively had aligned values and a similar approach to leadership development, and we were looking for a partner to help build on the skills that we didn’t have the resources to initiate in-house.

‍

As we started transitioning and restructuring, we knew we were going to experience rapid growth and needed strong leaders. The Coaching Studio demonstrated their style through a session with the senior leadership team and we knew we wanted to continue to work with them. At first, we focused on the Executive Team, yet transitioned to truly focus on building existing and future leaders. We also offered an optional Learning Leadership Development Program for every existing and new team member.
