Testimonials
Marie I was really impressed in the time and effort you put into the presentation, your research was very helpful and enlightening. You brought many practical ideas and solutions that our staff can implement into the school. Your in-depth knowledge of the challenges that immigrant newcomers face in coming into a new country has really helped to reinforce the same challenges we face at here St. Catherine.
Marie and her team did a great job getting our tem focused and believing they have the ability to make a difference within our organization! The improvement was immediate and exciting for me to see. The group was very appreciative and are still talking about the training they received! Thanks Marie, great job.
Marie is the best trainer/ facilitator you ever want on your corner or boardroom. She brings humor, empathy, diligence, enviable insights to her training. Marie provides participants with resources as well as concrete strategies, such that there is no excuse afterwards of being unaware of what ought to be done. I have known Marie as a colleague, and I have taken her training. My staff team took her training and they could not stop talking about how unique and fulfilling it was compared to numerous others they had taken. You are a transformational woman!

“Marie Gervais is a remarkable woman. She has a seemingly tireless work ethic and is dedicated to any project or program she connects with. She puts together projects of varying scales, coordinates multiple people and roles and does so with professionalism and optimism. It was an absolute pleasure working with Marie.”
“Marie has an incredible ability to assess training requirements and is by far, the most exceptional training consultant that I have contracted during my tenure with Alberta Agriculture. She was able to deliver training that resulted in improved productivity in every food processing plant where she provided services. Team building, conflict resolution cultural competency – she is an expert in all aspects of these critically important facets of productivity.”
In knowing Marie Gervais as a colleague, she has consistently demonstrated that she’s an analytical thinker, systematic planner and does high quality work. I arranged Marie to deliver two sessions on immigrant entrepreneurship (“marketing in a western culture”) at a business centre. She diligently prepared for her session and ensured all logistics were taken care of for the delivery of it. Marie is one of my few colleagues in western Canada who has obtained her Certified Training and Development Practitioner designation from CSTD. As well, I have had the opportunity to hear her present a formal seminar for HR professionals. Marie is well respected for her keen mind, dedication to social causes and committment to the learning and development field. I would highly recommend Marie Gervais’ work to organizations seeking a critical and creative thinker who is focused on meeting her clients’ needs using evidence-based practice.
I don’t know what you are doing, but it must be good because everyone can’t stop talking about it on the floor.
The others keep asking, ‘When is it my turn?’
I decided to use the technique you showed us for making sure employees understand instructions and it works!
The organizational communications exercise we did really stayed with me. It reminded me of the importance of building relationships to have smooth organization.
