What people are saying...
"We were able to recognize the opportunities and tools needed to be innovative and competitive in a change environment. Our tourism operators came away with new ideas for collaboration and a better sense of the strategies for future success."
–Ontario Federation of Tourism
"I think it is safe to say that very few of our delegates would have considered applying trend analysis to developing their business plans – but they will now. We also appreciated the effort you put into researching our industry. It paid great dividends in the relevance it added to your presentation."
–Canadian Electrical Contractors Association
"I wanted to take a few minutes to send you a short letter to let you know how impressed our delegates were with Jim Bottomley at our recent conference. Almost three out of every four people who took in his presentation on leadership rated it either Excellent or Very Good. Jim was a pro to work with from the time we booked him at the start of the year until the minute he left Jasper. He was in the room more than an hour before his presentation, and that commitment showed in both his delivery and high marks he received from our delegates."
–Alberta Home Builders Association
"The 2001 Convention was a great success. Many of the delegates have mentioned to us how much they enjoyed your presentation. I think it is safe to say that very few of our delegates would have considered applying trend analysis to developing their business plans &mdash but they will now.
