testimonials
As a co-founder and CEO at Simplicity Car Care, one of Canada's fastest growing collision repair franchises, my partners and I knew we needed an advisor who would consult us at a strategic level and be willing to assist with tactical deployment of our Talent Management initiatives.
Sharon was exactly the solution we needed. She met with us to conduct a needs assessment, where we then developed action plans to achieve the goals we targeted. She has provided us a strategic outlook on our people and our operations that we never had before. We are now developing leaders for our national and North American growth thanks to the processes developed under Sharon’s leadership.
Thank you, Sharon and congratulations, to the organizations that work with her, you are about to significantly supercharge your business capacity.
