Testimonials for Columba Bay from our clients

"Your (emotional intelligence) training provided our management team with an understanding of their own personality type…..and the awareness to recognize that each person needs to be managed differently and the skills to do this effectively."

S. Slaunwhite,
Executive Director, Prescott Group, 2006

"Initially we thought that education into EQ could prove powerful in allowing our leadership team to better understand and positively influence both their own behavior, as well as the behavior of others. Once exposed to the concepts, we recognized the benefit to anyone, management or otherwise, so offered the course opportunity to all staff. It proved the perfect balance, enough theory to fascinate, with plenty of practical information and tools to put to immediate use in the real world."

R. McMahon, VP & CFO, Satlantic Inc. 2007

"This facilitator was excellent, credible as an expert on emotional intelligence - great program."
