Leadership Advisory Services:
Giving You Distinct Competitive Advantage

From LinkedIn… Earlier this fall, I attended an insightful two-day leadership program from Schulich for senior leaders, where I had the opportunity to learn with (and from) some very accomplished and talented individuals. Apart from receiving a new certification – Global Strategic Foresight from Schulich ExecEd – this program reminded me of the value of continuous learning, and exchanging ideas and insights with leaders from diverse industries and backgrounds. A big thank you to all my classmates and to Dr. Jill Birch for a great learning experience.

“Jill’s keynote presentation to our group was phenomenal! Our senior leaders felt her presentation was right on the mark as she helped them rekindle their commitment to leadership and to start our year off strong. Our participants were inspired by Jill’s words, and the practical insights into how to develop new relational leadership capabilities. Jill was exactly what we were looking for.”

“Jill Birch was magic. She designed a presentation combining her experience as a leader and her research in a way that immediately hit home for our Presidents, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs. She didn’t miss a beat reading our audience as she spoke. She used great examples, injected humour and tailored her keynote to our audience so much we thought she was one of us! The audience was excited and motivated to take their leadership to the next level. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Birch to any groups looking for a “Top Notch” keynote presentation on leadership.”

“Jill’s enthusiasm, energy, and great speaking skills kept everyone well engaged throughout. Most importantly, Jill was respectful of everyone’s varying opinions and comments and was instrumental in helping the task group come to consensus on recommendations.”

“Your inspiring keynote message at our Council of Ontario Finance Officers conference helped spark the passion of leadership within our membership. The high-energy presentation was well-crafted, thought provoking and exceeded our expectations. The key leadership concepts and ideas you presented will make a difference in the way we lead our teams during the coming year.

Thank you for making such a positive impact!”

“Pace was great and we spent time to address questions and concerns from the learners, not just going through a fixed set of learning objectives. Appreciated time for self-reflection, learning how to coach and handling difficult conversations.”

“Jill was absolutely fantastic! She was knowledgeable about various situations and was able to get me to change my perspectives on my leadership style and equip me with the tools I need for my job going forward. She had a separate meeting with my group on handling difficult conversations…that was phenomenal! Thanks a lot Jill!”

Thanks to the participation of an entrepreneur like yourself, CEO Vision was a resounding success which allowed us to achieve our fundamental objective, that is the sharing of knowledge and experience among CEO peers. Your presentation gave us the opportunity to gather invaluable insight to inspire in the leadership of our companies. We are convinced the Summit will lead to profitable developments between and among the participants.

Jill was everything we asked for and more. Not only did she engage and energize our audience; she connected with them as leaders and enablers of education. She delivered a laughter-filled keynote address with a powerful message. The way she spoke to every meaningful objective and brought new material that was relevant to the event was fantastic! Couldn’t be happier.

Jill worked with seamlessly with our Board developing a customized approach to self-assessment that was open, transparent and sustaining. Her ability to hear all voices and ensure they were reflected, ensured we received feedback that will carry us into our next phase of evolution. Jill’s analysis of the finding and recommendations were spot on in helping us plan ahead.

It’s both my pleasure and honour to acknowledge Jill for presenting “The Compassion Advantage: New Future Possibilities in Leadership” to the CBHA during our annual conference. Jill’s candid style and humour won over the packed house of community behavioural professionals the moment she began speaking. If you get the chance to bring her to your organization or conference, you’ll be surprised by how much homework she does to understand your organization and your goals.

Thank you for an incredible session! It was truly the best of the conference, and I’ve let ASAE know that. I would love information on the retreat/conference you mentioned about bringing men and women together to lead, if it’s a public event. I’ve signed up for your newsletter as well. Thanks again!

Thank you for your amazing presentation at our event. People really felt engaged! I asked my colleagues here if they had any feedback for you and they all said that you couldn’t have done a better job. It was bang on!
