"Sylvia Marusyk did an outstanding job delivering her message to our company. She has an amazing ability to connect with anyone in a short time period. We have seen an immediate impact as a result of her message, and we could not be happier with her performance. Overall, Sylvia’s positive energy, powerful message and ability to connect with people make her an invaluable gift as a presenter. I highly recommend Sylvia Marusyk to any company or group who has a goal to elevate team building, respect and positive energy."

Tyler McCune

Reynolds Consumer Products

"In an industry of construction where self-awareness & personal growth are not discussed, Sylvia Marusyk with The ARLANGroup, broadened our horizons through humour with her presentation of “Respectfully, Up Yours”. In conjunction with the topic of “bullying in the workplace”, our company has learned old management styles are unacceptable! Thanks, Sylvia!"

Colleen Munro

President
Hugh Munro Construction

"We have received nothing but positive feedback and great comments about the seminar Sylvia Marusyk put on. It was actually a perfect fit for our group of managers here – as we are all a very sarcastic/fun bunch. I can say pretty confidently that Sylvia’s presentation style and her engaging personality definitely are a great fit for StandardAero, and as I believe Fritz mentioned, we will definitely be recommending her to our group."

Karole Serba

Executive Assistant
TLM Government & Military Sector StandardAero

"The feedback received from over five hundred nurses in attendance was overwhelmingly positive. Sylvia’s presentation was informative, engaging and highly interactive. She was able to strike an excellent balance between content and entertainment and, because of her healthcare background, she was able to relate to our nurses. Sylvia Marusyk was a pleasure to have."

Manitoba Nurses Union

"It was of no surprise to me after attending Sylvia’s “Stressed to Kill” session a couple of years ago that the “Happy Hour beings at 9 a.m.” workshop was amazing! Sylvia Marusyk did a phenomenal job and the comments continue to pour in…..all over the top rave reviews. Between her natural charm, quick wit, insight & personal experiences, she could not have connected with the group any more than she did. Truly a wonderful experience!"

Tannis Coburn

Associate Manager, Field Development
Selectpac Distribution

"I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Sylvia Marusyk speak to a few different groups now and each time, I am impressed by her ability to captivate the audience and simultaneously entertain and educate us to improve ourselves as individuals and as members of the various groups and teams we are all responsible to. Recently, she delivered a session to nearly 400 of our staff in a huge space that was not at all conducive to this type of session. As per usual, Sylvia held the audience’s attention from “Hello!”, inspired our staff to choose to make it a good day, and the only thing people left wanting was for her to be heard again!"
