As an instructor, Barry is one of the most enthusiastic instructors I've ever seen.  He is always willing to share his vast knowledge and experience with the course attendees.  His professionalism and dedication are what every instructor should bring to the course.

 

Luis Bernhardt, MBA,     IT Manager,                                                                     BC Hydro  

What I like about Barry's approach is that it's practical and well-tested. His courses aren't a lot of theory, as many on the market are. He's read the theory, but he also uses real-life experiences to show how it can be applied effectively. My group was surprised by how much of it applied to what they did, and how immediately useful it was.

 

Desiree Dyck,    Help Desk Manager,           Accenture Business Services for Utilties                                Our objectives for taking the course were met and more so.  It was an excellent experience with real, practical application. Your energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to walking the talk was a real inspiration to our client support team. An instructor makes or breaks the training experience and to have someone with real-world experience to share with us was a bonus.

Norma Louden,      Client Support Coordinator                                 District of Saanich     The District of Saanich hired Barry as both a customer service trainer and as a customer service consultant and we've been very impressed with his knowledge, experience, professionalism and facilitating abilities.  We've noticed a positive change in how our analysts handle clients.  As a result of Barry's coaching we are now receiving rave reviews from clients.
