Alix Davenport, President -- Ipsos Canada
"I am writing to thank you for the excellent work you have provided Ipsos over the past year.

This was a very challenging time in my career, given the need to merge three unrelated acquisitions and to implement a North American convergence strategy.

I have no doubt that the coaching services you provided were an important contributor to the successful outcome of this task. I valued both the ongoing insights and counsel that you gave me during this period, as well as your quick grasp of our key strategic business issues.

I would highly recommend you to any senior manager who has to deal with a change situation or other business leadership problem."

Karla Congson, VP Marketing Communications, AIM Trimark Investments
"Al has had an amazing impact on our team. His coaching sessions have provided my group with enhanced self-awareness, confidence and career focus, and improved our team dynamics.

Al has a unique capability of creating a supportive and trusting relationship almost immediately -- you feel like you've known him for five years within five minutes of meeting him.

This enables him to have effective coaching conversations with a wide variety of personalities and to constructively highlight and deal with issues very quickly."

Frank Watson, Owner & Technical Director, Watson Process Systems
"Al Brockway was highly instrumental in my success in selling my company.

He quickly grasped the essence of the business and my own needs and ensured that both were well positioned in the process. Al rewrote my company's profile and selling documents in a way that maximized its perceived value and long term potential, and helped select a broker to handle the sale.

He coached me on my approach with prospective purchasers so that I was able to achieve the final terms and price that I was seeking with minimal frustration."

Kevin Adema, Agency Account Director
Al, I wanted to thank you again for the many conversations and emails we shared. The key benefit for me was the astute and competent role you played in probing me to think critically for myself -- ultimately resulting in better outcomes and action.

You had the inherent ability to quickly realize my style and subsequently match your approach, prodding, questioning, etc. toward my style and therefore force me to use my natural skill set. You also were able to quickly note my areas of weakness and challenge and as such, you also made me utilize other approaches to work related challenges and opportunities.

I enjoyed my coaching experience and know that you will excel at parlaying your wisdom and input for many others in the future."
