As usual, you can see how your influence impacted everyone and just the level of participation, confirmed how good you are at what you do. I am sure each person present left with some nugget of information to take back to their office.”

    Dainty Lewis , Executive Assistant, Finance Department, AVIVA

I got to learn a theory/concept, apply it in a negotiation exercise, and review the session immediately with Gail on things that could be improved on. Thank you very much Gail. You have really made a difference in my life. I highly recommend everyone to take your negotiation workshop.

    Daniel Chu, IT Project Manager, Telus

  • “Dr. Levitt facilitated a customized, two-day course for a mixed discipline group of learners from our government organization. I felt that Gail’s greatest strength was her flexibility, and the way she adapted her facilitation style and language to the specific learning styles in the classroom. In addition, she was very thorough, made sure to engage the audience, and discussed sensitive topics with diplomacy, tact, and enthusiasm. “
