When we created a new not-for-profit cooperative to direct livestock research in Ontario, we turned to Bryan to facilitate a session with the brand new Board of Directors. Our objective was team building, setting our course and creating our 100 day plan. After two days of hard, yet exhilarating work, the results were staggeringly positive. ...and we had fun!

I want to thank you for the invaluable support in the two day meeting you facilitated. Those meetings to consider creating a new organization for the swine genetics sector to collectively support genetics research in Canada were by all counts extremely successful. I can't say enough of how grateful I am for your contribution to this success.

Bryan successfully explained our novel business plan to attendees and facilitated a question and answer period with prospective members/investors. Bryan’s easy going personality made organizing very easy and smooth. Bryan was able to get the right people to the meetings with his industry wide contacts.

The workshop that Bryan facilitated was a very productive event, where the participants were very engaged. Bryan set the tone well and was skilled at engaging all attendees using various methodologies. He solicited a commitment from attendees to actively implement some of the engagement strategies we devised, as soon as possible, in their home environment.

I do think the approach you used to identify the positives and negatives of the proposal was useful, and ultimately moved us toward a high level of consensus on proceeding with the proposal as presented. You injected some energy into the process and allowed for engagement and constructive input from all participants. The resulting outcomes from yesterday’s meeting certainly met my expectations.

Bryan Boyle is able to develop rapport with large groups holding diverse views and build consensus.

Having Bryan Boyle & Associates facilitate our Strategic and Economic Plan was a great investment for the Municipality. Bryan had the ability to create focus, encourage everyone to think and provide input “out of their silos” and engage members into discussion. In his unique way, he was able to synthesize all of the facts and points discussed into a coherent document for the Municipality.

I was amazed that in three hours we had all the topics covered, people are satisfied with the answers they received, and PMHA was ready to face the future. You enforced the meeting rules respectfully and politely and members mirrored your demeanour. I think everyone who attended that meeting learned something from you and that is something of which you can be proud.
