Testimonials

Jocelyn Racine, Executive Director, Ed Brunet and Associates

I greatly appreciated our interactions, your strong understanding of strategic plans and objectives, and the global impact on all of the various facets of an organization. Your background in marketing greatly helped us to shed light on our ideas and summarize the information. Your great ease with group interactions allowed us to hear and align with each other. I appreciated that we were able to talk about high-level (strategic) objectives while avoiding getting into tactical details. You have a really great perception of these two definitions. You immediately understood EBA’s challenges, which is not easy for an outsider.

Chantal Bourbonnais, Executive Director, Association canadienne des professeurs d’immersion

I have worked with Paul Turpin for many years on various projects. Paul’s greatest strength is without a doubt his active listening skills. He quickly understands the challenges and the realities of the organization with whom he works. He is also an outstanding group facilitator who successfully rallies people around a common objective. We have made incredible strides under Paul’s mentoring.

Marie-Josée Morneau, French Immersion Education Consultant, Seine River School Division

I love working with Paul because he has an exceptional talent for being able to manage a group like ours 🙂 Seriously, I truly valued the business approach he used with our group. Forcing us to put ourselves in the shoes of the people that we represent wasn’t an easy exercise, but it allowed me to understand that we must possess this ability to see and to feel the reality in which our diverse members live – otherwise we risk not responding to our clients’ various needs.

I must admit that the work he made us do was pretty intense and demanding, but it is what I greatly appreciate about Paul. The schedule was optimized to guarantee a strategic planning session that was not only satisfying but also enriching. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul’s expertise for any organization or business that wishes to strengthen its mission, its intentions and its actions.

I don’t think I took the time to thank you yesterday for your excellent work. We were supported, inspired, and aligned by your comments, your creativity, your professionalism, your listening skills, and your expertise. You have contributed to making our approach a success and you engaged in it with interest and commitment, as though you were a full member of our team. A HUGE THANK YOU for this coaching, and I look forward to continuing this wonderful collaboration!!

Sylvie Pouliot, Executive Director, SADC Pierre-De Saurel

It’s unanimous! We were seeking an outstanding expert in open innovation, a facilitator who is committed to the deep meaning of collaboration and with a contagious enthusiasm (a bonus!). We found you. Now we’re keeping you!

Gilles Leroux, CPA, CMA, Executive Director, CFORP

It is with great pleasure that we recently had an opportunity to work with Paul Turpin as a consultant for the CFORP’s 2015-2018 strategic planning exercise. Paul did excellent work throughout his entire term. As a facilitator, he is simply one of the best among those I have seen. He is extremely dynamic and exudes an energy that inspires people to excel.

Paul has proven organizational skills and high professional standards, and presented an excellent preparation for our work group pre-meetings. His work sessions are very well structured. He possesses an exceptional ability to adjust during sessions and to modify activities in order to meet the stated objectives. He quickly became invested in the various assignments he was entrusted with.

The CFORP’s entire executive team is very satisfied with the process that was used and with Paul’s work. He delivered his assignments with thoroughness and we are completely thrilled with the results.

Yvan Moreau, Manager – Community Development, Ville de Gatineau

I simply wanted to thank you for your great contribution to the work of the Inter-services Committee. You were an invaluable support, notably for the development of tools and for the depth of the reflection. You are in large part responsible for the very favourable response that the Assistant Executive Director demonstrated toward our recommendations. I look forward to our working together again.

Serge Labelle, Olympian and CEO – Akuntsu International Digital Strategy Firm

An amazing communicator, entrepreneur and visionary, few people understand the main reason that makes Paul the business impresario and an outstanding entrepreneur: His passion for performance, which comes from the world of international sport. I strongly recommend Paul for anyone wanting to grow with a plan that will make them a winner. I can assure you of this because he was my own athlete.
