What people are saying…

 

“Lynn’s services to our organizations were outstanding in several areas of performance. ..Lynn shared a passion for labour market realities with her clients in a focused, motivating and highly customized way.  She worked independently to maintain her fresh knowledge base....Lynn was able to stretch this knowledge base flexibly to meet the complex adjustment needs of foreign trained professionals, younger school leavers; individuals from many walks of life who required a fresh, retooled approach to their careers and persons with multiple barriers...Lynn’s second strong area of performance was group facilitation...as she quickly took in information about an individual...within a group format...to process a great deal of client information and to switch flexibly from big picture thinking to hands-on problem solving as she interacted with the client was notable.  Lynn’s third area of strength is program development.  She was able to identify gaps in community and in-house programming, and developed and hosted on our site an Apprenticeship Exploration Workshop that provided a first-rate bridging route for adults seeking apprenticeship opportunities.“

“Our company recently announced the closure of one of our factories that had been in existence for many, many years.  The news was very devastating for a number of our employees.  We retained Lynn McCabe to provide Outplacement Counselling workshops for all of our staff.  The seminar evaluations came back to me with 98% rating all categories as Excellent.  Employees stated they learned a lot about themselves, gained confidence and absolutely loved the trainer (Lynn McCabe).  She connected very well with each and every attendee. “

I would like to thank WPI for doing a fabulous job in counselling our employees during this tough time in their lives.  Lynn McCabe provided our group with sound advice, excellent coaching and was a wealth of helpful information.  She was well respected by all of our employees and her outgoing personality really lightened up the situation in a positive way.  Every time we had a session with Lynn, it left us feeling that we were going to be OK and that we were going to be successful in our job search.  Kudos to Lynn, she was nothing but professional, friendly and a great support system for those of us who needed reassurance.  My deepest thanks for this outstanding service.

It is not hard to find people in this world who strive to be successful, sometimes even sacrificing ethics and morals...  But much more rarely in life do I encounter someone who truly demonstrates the wisdom, care and dedication associated with actively seeking to add value to others lives.  Individuals who practice this approach know that the key to collective success for the entire community is to continuously focus on adding value for others.  It is this powerful servant leadership that Lynn McCabe recently demonstrated to me.  Clearly Lynn’s positive reputation is known throughout the HR industry…While networking she was beyond just extremely supportive…Lynn’s expertise and industry awareness were abundantly evident…The kind of goodwill and customer loyalty that Lynn is generating cannot be acquired any other way at any price.  By sacrificing a relatively small amount of time in the overall scope of things, Lynn is developing dedicated advocates and loyal clients that will have a multiplier effect…Lynn’s approach is absolutely invaluable and I heartily thank her for her amazing support during, and after my recent employment search.

“I took the Organizational Insights capacity course yesterday, and I just wanted to say that it is the best Capacity course I have ever taken.  The topics discussed and ideas that flowed during the 3 hour course left me energized and considering my own future: how can the skills I have help the City meet the challenges and opportunities we will face with the changing community climate, and what can I do to further develop my skill set to align with the trends. Lynn McCabe delivers the program with such passion, and provides real statistical trending data to back up her forecasts.  She managed to connect the organizationally diverse course participants by encouraging us to share our goals and allowing open dialogue for encouragement and input. The only thing I would recommend would be to have this course extended to a full day.  In fact the entire class felt that way.  It was so good, we wanted more!”
