Testimonials for Crestcom Canada

"Recently graduated from the bullet proof management leadership program. As a small business entrepreneur, this program offered me exceptional leadership skill development that I now incorporate with my company. Mike Houle, Tali, and all the fantastic facilitators from the southern Ontario division of Crestcom have positively impacted and influenced my knowledge of leadership in business. I would highly recommend this development program to any company looking for continued success."

"The training provided through Crestcom in Windsor Ontario has given me the ability to better understand, communicate and train my team. The leadership development has simplified my interactions with internal and external customers, and has given me the ability to become a better leader for my team.

My journey through Crestcom began with a supervisory position within my company, and evolved into junior management. It was beneficial to my performance to make goals while in training and implementing them withing my shop."

"I can't believe how quickly 12 months goes by and how much I learnt in the bullet proof manager Crestcom leadership program. Each module is incredibly interactive and practical, with key learnings you can take away and implement with your team and business. Monthly modules have instilled the learning 100x more than if this was just a 3 day back to back course. I highly recommend for any new manager, or even managers who have been in their role for a while, I guarantee you will take something away. Particular thanks to Mike Houle who led our groups and debrief."

"Over past 10 years we have used Crestcom to assist in providing leadership and management training to our key leaders and project managers. We find the Crestcom program offers a great variety of topics in an organized fashion that engages our staff in a meaningful way."

"Crestcom "The Bullet Proof Manager" has truly exceeded my expectations. I have taken a number of Leadership training courses over the years and this one has been by far the best! I would highly recommend."

"The program offers current - and continues to improve content - behavioral, cultural and skill sets needed in today's workplace. I liked the diversity, the smaller learning groups and level of interaction. It added to an amazing learning experience. The Action Plans after every session helped with material retention and developing healthy workplace habits/techniques to support a high performance culture. Practice makes perfect!"

"I have had the pleasure to go through the Crestcom Bullet Proof Manager Leadership Training program which is the most comprehensive Leadership training I've seen. Their use of developing action plans for setting and achieving specific, measurable goals provides interactive management training with a results-oriented curriculum along with business networking opportunities.

Their 12-month format creates a deeper understanding of the essential management skills in all levels of leadership and their process allows managers time to internalize the new information, master the skills, and demonstrate how it works for your company.

I would not hesitate to recommend this program to any business leader that is looking for measurable results for their training investment into their management team."

"My entire management team, along with myself, are enrolled in the Crestcom Leadership Program. Though we have already had tremendous growth over the last few years, Crestcom has given us the common language and competencies to continue that growth with increased confidence. Debriefing the modules really allows us to discuss the action plans for even greater success through their implementation. I highly recommend Crestcom."

"This is our second group enrollment in the Bullet Proof Manager program. Great opportunity for leadership development and enhancing skill set for talented employees. The monthly program schedule is very suitable for business and individuals; followed-up with debrief meetings by Mike Houle is a bonus and compliment to the sessions. Mike and his team are very supportive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed."

"Great course. Highly recommended!"

"An exceptional learning program offered in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. Highly recommend for any business management professionals!"

"Having my key managers and I attend Crestcom has been one of the best decisions that I have made in the last year. There are a tonne of tangible measurements that business can use to justify taking a course like this… We have much more honest, direct and concise meetings. … There is always at least one nugget of information or idea, in every class, that I take away from the class in the morning and I am putting into practice by that afternoon… I know now that before Crestcom I was just wasting my time, now I use my time effectively and productively."

"I really enjoy this leadership training. The instructor is very hands on and the videos and interaction training is top notch. I like the fact that there are take backs each month to integrate directly into my day to day activities."

"As a new and younger manager, I felt that this was vital in assisting me in progressing forward in my field of work. Even though not all modules applied to what I do on a daily basis, or the type of "team" I manage, I still found the material relevant. I always walked away with something interesting and useful from each module."

"I can't say enough positive things about my experience over the past year in the bullet proof manager Crestcom leadership program. From the facilitators, course material itself, group discussions, and the action plans, I've applied so many modules to my role and know my Crestcom binder will be a source of reference for years to come. Huge shout out to Mike Houle who lead my monthly debriefs - fantastic conversation and insight. I would highly recommend this interactive course to any leader."

"The instructors were very knowledgeable, the videos were very helpful and the break-out sessions with people from other industries was really helpful. Attending was always a great reset to the on-the-job mindset."

"Recently completed the Bullet Proof Manager training from Crestcom Professional Growth and Development. Great program for anyone in a leadership role, offering great tips and tricks to help with your professional and everyday life. The modules and facilitators were great and informative. I would highly recommend for any organization wanting to make their management team more effective and more personable."

"Mike Houle - Have been through 10 sessions with with Crestcom, Mike is my facilitator and the experience has been very impactful on several levels. I would recommend the training course, the content is great but the direct business impact that the modules can have is a huge upside."

"This was a really good leadership training program tailored for all types of industry leaders. The training material and skills that are introduced at each session seems simple but carries a big weight when you apply at your workplace. I highly recommend this to new as well seasoned leaders/managers. Our windsor instructor Mark was excellent and would always follow up after the sessions to encourage us to apply the new skills.
Plus always nice to meet and discuss ideas with other managers that are from different industries."

"The design of the program allows participants the opportunity to truly implement their action plans into their work environment and personal life. And the debrief sessions are important, as it allows everyone to hear other ideas and holds everyone accountable. Great program and I definitely recommend it!"

"The Crestcom program is fantastic! When Mike approached us about the opportunity to have a local training session with a monthly cadence we jumped on the opportunity. We have not been disappointed. As a business owner I am always looking for ways to enhance our skillset and think of new ways to develop and grow our talented employees. Should you give Mike Houle and his team the opportunity to earn your business, I know you will be as pleased as we have been with his work!"

"Crestcom has provided me with a set of tools and a toolbox that has made leadership and team building easy. Crestcom has allowed me to nurture and embrace each and every member of my team in a way that is thoughtful, exciting and unique to their goals and needs. The facilitators are outstanding and they know the material inside out. The share anecdotal stories that you can pass along and engage your teams with. It is also an opportunity to network and see the challenges others face in business. Negotiations, dealing with difficult people, raising the customer service bar, it's all there. The only negative thing about Crestcom is...... it ends!"

"Certainly a growing experience received here, that assists in rounding out an individual and providing the tools to succeed!! Kudos Crestcom!"

"As a young business owner I cant not express enough gratitude to Mike Houle and the entire Crestcom team. I have now been through 9 sessions and can honestly say I have learned nothing but valuable material which is easy to implement into my day to day operation."

"The Crestcom BulletProof Management course was a great opportunity to refine and define who and what I want to portray as a leader! Thank you to all the facilitators and staff at Crestcom to make this personal development course engaging and interesting with the switch to online learning through these trying times ! Way to be Southwestern Ontario Crestcom Team !!!! Thank you"

"The knowledge learned from each module has aided in improving my interactions with customers and co-workers. It's instrumental that one continues to learn and grow and Kitchener Crestcom is certainly one way to expand your leadership development skills and knowledge while providing tools to facilitate personal growth."

"This program is amazing! I have been enrolled in many types of training similar to this over the years and this by far you will get the most out of!"

"Very professional and organized classes. The instructors are engaging, the pace and format fit well within busy work schedules."

"Crestcom is unlike any other leadership training I’ve taken. It’s not just another training course you take and then put the book on a shelf to collect dust. There are a lot of valuable resources you have access to and the personal action plans and debrief sessions help to create accountability. I have implemented several key ideas from many of the sessions I’ve attended with great results. Through this leadership development program I am improving myself, enhancing my knowledge, and supporting my career path and it is positively affecting my life. I would highly recommend this leadership development to others."

"In addition to the tools and ideas that each of my team has taken away for their own adaptation and use as a leader, the Crestcom experience is giving us time as a team to talk through leadership issues and ideas as a team, all sharing common language."

"Have had our entire management team go thorough the Bulletproof Manager program over the past few years. If you are looking for leadership development training in the SW Ontario region and are willing to engage in the process I cannot recommend the Crestcom program highly enough."

"A very intuitive program, very applicable for day to day life at work/home, I enjoyed the class work more before the pandemic then online classes (which are still good).
I learned a lot from your program. Thanks so much."
