During that time, Berta and I focused on the development of Executive Management and next generation leadership, in both Canada and the United States. Berta has always been able to deliver unique and impactful content to our leadership team and was able to establish a common understanding of concept and terminology allowing for a more integrated approach to talent management. Overall it has been a fruitful partnership and continues to be appreciated by many within our organization. "

"We have had the pleasure of working with Berta on a number of occasions, each time learning and growing more from the experience. Utilizing the Management Assessment Questionnaire as a tool to better understand myself and my team is only the beginning of truly introspective learning. The magic lies within the dynamic discussion with Berta. She stretches you and pulls you out of your comfort zone all with the goal of becoming a better leader, and more importantly, a better human being. My working relationships have flourished when I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Berta. I am a better leader and my team cohesive and aligned. Working with Berta has been transformational and I encourage you and your team to take the initiative to connect."
