On behalf of the executive committee of 'Sharing the Stage' conference, I would like to thank you very much for your inspirational presentation to our FSL teachers during the conference 'Sharing the Stage' on Jan 29-30, 2007. The purpose of the conference was to help the French as a Second Language teachers better understand their curriculum by using many strategies to reach that goal. Your keynote address gave them hope and helped them understand the important and role that they play as a teacher of a second language. Your very concrete examples based on your own experience convinced everyone of the need to balance their life be it professional, personal, social and spiritual. It is the key to success and happiness! Teachers often feel the pressure to be all to all people. Your presentation made them realize that they must be happy and satisfied with themselves first if they want to successfully fill in the very demanding mandate of answering the many needs of their students. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to our teachers and to help them cope with their very busy life. You were the man of the hour! Teachers evaluations revealed their great satisfaction with your positive message. I wish you good luck in your future endeavours and I hope that many other people will have the chance to listen to your great presentations. Merci encore!

The complexity and time commitment required from most Executive Change Programs makes many leadership teams shy away from what could well be a value-adding initiative. Richard Monette, however, has a unique style that cuts out the ?fluff? and focuses on simple, easy to comprehend and easy to execute improvements. His background in coaching world-class athletes and sports teams instantly translates into improved performance for corporations, and helps Richard build a proactive, dynamic approach to executive coaching. I recommend Richard to anyone interested in improving the bottom-line results generated by their leadership teams.
