Integrity + Consulting was recommended by someone I highly respect. My objective was to help my team become more efficient, more effective and to identify and implement practical solutions to the information overload that burdens their work lives. Results: Participants gave very positive feedback. The overall satisfaction of the learning session was in excess of 92.5%. Many of them found it to be one of the best sessions in which they have participated.

Susan Malenica, Director CIBC Mortgages Inc.

"In the three months since we had your education session we have made a great improvement in clearly understanding our roles and in our personal effectiveness. We learned not only that we were not focusing enough on the high value aspects of our roles but also that we had developed many bad work habits that inhibited our efficiency and personal effectiveness...we have made many changes that are leading us to be more effective and more satisfied in our work lives.

Thank you for the excellent program and your caring touch"

I have to say that over the years I still revert to your principles when feeling overwhelmed... I try not to let my inbox manage me and have it define my role; focus on the high value deliverables being the key. Your principles and workshop empower us not to give in and remind us how to take control !

Joelle Perez, Manager, IBM

The material you used was very specific, it was very practical and yet it fit into a process that was very overarching with the different modes of communication...You clearly laid out the areas we would deal with and you succeeded in meeting your objectives as well as our own.

In my time, I have attended many seminars, but only a hand full of them have had a lasting impact. Your program definitely falls in that category and has already impacted in a positive way sever staff members and me....

I found your program unique in quite a few ways. Firstly, the primary focus is on the how to organize rather than the what. The practical steps suggested are very doable and hence in my case it has actually got done! Another outstanding and valuable element is your on site personal coaching which makes the whole program truly customized and effective."

Jaywant Michael, University Professor, Quart UAE

 " I engaged Integrity+ Consulting, having heard of the positive results their workshop has had on anther division in CIBC. What impressed me about their work is their thorough approach.  Short telephone interviews were conducted with some of my team leaders prior to the workshop to ensure that the material would be relevant.  The follow up conference calls and meetings ensured that the material we learned was being implemented into our daily routine.

I am pleased to encourage other managers and businesses leaders to consider this workshop as a tool to help them improve the effectiveness of their people and to guard against the negative impact of information overload.

"Beyond the very practical recommendations you have given regarding time and work management, however, has been an even more valuable contribution, i.e., the revision of our understanding of our roles and resultant expectations. It has been comforting and freeing for us as individual team members to realize that our roles are best defined by what we are expected to be rather than what we are expected to do".

Reg Andrews ,Executive Pastor, The Peoples Church
