What my clients Have to Say
Comments
Here are a few of the many comments gathered from participants of my seminars, Strategic/Leadership Circles, or Team Rally+Integration Days:
"I would most definitely recommend this for everyone. The best part was that I was participant and not the driver of the day. The difference in my office is dramatic. Not because people were not doing their jobs just that they are more aware of how it all fits together. I am impressed with the high rating (given from the team members on the anonymous feedback form-Ed)!!! Good Job!!!"
Susan Curtis-Villar Chartered Accountants
"I have been a member of the strategic circle run by Debra Dowdell of Power Your Practice for over a year. There are many practice issues which small practices face every day to respond to the opportunities and threats of our rapidly changing environment. I believe all practitioners must continually attack these matters and re-engineer our practices. Debra's guidance and knowledge have have been instrumental in helping our firm along this path. I think almost all small firms would benefit from her assistance. Thank you Debra." [Jim Hyland, Newhouse Hyland LLP, Mississauga, ON]
"Debra has been instrumental in drawing to my attention several areas of managing my practice that I had not addressed. She has presented some insightful options and methods to change what we do and how we do it. She has also helped me to think more strategically about my practice as a business, and helped me to apply sound business strategies to improve the level of service to my clients, and the level of satisfaction that I and my staff have in working everyday." (KB, Sole Practitioner)
"Couldn't (and wouldn't) have done it without your help - thanks again."
