Lionel Laroche Speaking Testimonials

* Most of our work comes from internal referrals. For example, a keynote address at a Professional Development Day for the staff of one Canadian university led to three different projects, each with different parts of that university. * We did a series of 20 workshops for Scotiabank IT leaders, starting from the CIO and his direct reports all the way down to all IT team leads. At every level, people said that they greatly benefited from attending our workshops and recommended to their direct reports that they attend.
