Carnegie Coaching was a much welcomed boost for my business and mindset. Carnegie taught me that there is only one person standing in the way of my success and growth, and that person is ME. Carnegie empowered me to define what success means to me. Carnegie gave me the boost needed to recognize that I can continue to make a difference for my clients, my organization and my life if I simply remind myself to follow the Carnegie golden principles. I'm proud that I continue to be one of the top 100 producers across Canada for Credit Unions. I have met or exceeded sales targets each and every year, and I have a 95% retention rate. Great lessons learned and applied!
Michele Hendriks, Financial Planning Specialist, Meridian Credit Union

In the end, the bottom line improvement to this hotel is up 20% and climbing. We will and are achieving results above expectations!”
Jeff Ransome, General Manager, Renaissance Fallsview Hotel

“Carnegie coaching played a huge role in my business results. Based on my 2005 performance, I was chosen to attend the bank's 2005 Convention. At the convention, I was presented with the "Leo Award" - the highest award granted to any RBC employee. I believe that we all have it within us, we just have to make it a priority and work hard to awaken it.”
Martin Zaremba, Financial Planner, RBC Investments

“My greatest achievement by far has been to Stop Worrying and Start Living! I was a “what if” person and with the skills learned through coaching I have been able to handle situations and circumstances and learned to excel in spite of them. When we give of ourselves and invest our time and energy into other people, we increase our own value as an individual and as a coach in both our personal and professional lives.” Carl Ryan, Operations, Cotton Construction

“I received great benefit from Carnegie coaching as a student and twice as much as a coach. I learned how to coach people, and the company as a whole, in the direction we needed to go. This one thing had the greatest affect on the morale and productivity of the company. If you allow it to, the coaching will change you and your management style with results you can only imagine.”
Lorne Bjorgan, President, Design Electronics

“After my first coaching experience, I had the “tools” to help my fellow workers achieve breakthroughs. One of my greatest breakthroughs is the ability to focus on what is most important even though it is not urgent. I would advise anyone who is considering getting involved in Carnegie Coaching to make time and do it. The impact it will have on your life as well as the people around you will be worth your time.” Ted Boldt, President, Boldt Pools

“For me the most significant professional impact was the realization that leadership is “action not a position”. Anyone, in any position within a company, can become a leader and impact positively the people they work with. To anyone considering a Carnegie Coaching experience, I would say jump in with both feet; ‘listen’ with your eyes, ‘see’ with your ears and apply…apply… and continue to apply what you have learned.”
Sindi Vidovic, Human Resources Consultant, Canada Border Services Agency

“Carnegie impacted me more than any other schooling, training, learning or life lessons I have learned. Carnegie allowed me the skill set to be a team builder instead of a hard worker. In six months after taking Carnegie I was the GM here in St. Catharines. Carnegie allowed me to communicate with people at a new level in which I could gain their interests and my team would get done 10 times the work I could get done.”
Wade Robillard, General Manager, Canadian Tire Store, St. Catharines

This has been an absolute worthwhile experience. Why? Carnegie Coaching emphasizes real life, common sense principles and transforms them into a logical framework. Carnegie challenged each one of us to establish real goals (in my case, business goals) and applying the tools to achieve these goals. And the results are "real". My Carnegie successes are all about focus, accountability and discipline leading to real results.
Roch Lafontaine,Manager Business Accounts, Desjardins Caisse Populaire

"I knew it all... The trick is learning how to use the tools that many of us may know but do not consistently apply. The application of the tools resulted in the ability to handle double the appointments during RSP season. It also resulted in an additional $1million in sales over the period of the course in comparison to the year previous. In the end you gain insight, control, and a clear vision of what you want to accomplish personally and professionally"
Kelly Maidens, Financial Planner, Caisse Populaire Welland

The coaching experience from Carnegie enabled me to free up an additional ½ hour each day. This allows me the opportunity and time to work on my sales target. As a result so far this year I was able to increase my wealth management portfolio by 150k. Using the Carnegie principles on my staff allowed me to create valuable time which helps me in my vision to reach my objectives.
Michel Lemieux, Branch Manager, Caisse populaire, St. Catharines

The Carnegie Coaching experience allowed me to uncover myself and to challenge the things that hold me back. I am more open and willing to take on the challenges of life and to have more confidence in my ability to achieve my dreams and succeed no matter what happens. It helped have a 2 consecutive successful years in my financial planning career where I exceeded my annual goals by over 125%.
Andre Sarkis, RBC Financial Planner

I can actually say that while I was involved in Carnegie Coaching I had a 4 times return on my investment. On one order we saved 7200 dollars. I think of myself as a bull in a china shop when it comes to business. Yes I get a lot accomplished, and I take a lot of risks, however I sometimes lack finesse. Coaching has given me the tools to have much more finesse injected into my sales calls and my everyday interactions with other people. The most important thing that was learned from the coaching was how to stop worrying. I know stress is one of the biggest killers of business people. The tools I received have taught me how to deal with stress in a much more manageable way. You have a unique coaching approach that to me is more valuable than my four years earning my B.A. in Law.
