After the five behaviors of a team workshop, I felt that it was such a refreshing and helpful step forward for all of our staff. It gave us a chance to open up and discuss how we, as a team, can work together to create positive outcomes.

Some of my personal favourite things that I took away were to remember that everyone has good intentions, if we are unsure, it is ok to ask and get clarity. I am reminded to be a safe space for others to share their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and frustrations. I will remember to ask the question, "Do you want help/solutions or do you just need to vent?" This is a great tool to ensure I am creating a safe space for my co-workers and there to support in a way that is meaningful and positive to them.

The whole experience was positive and empowering, and reminded me that we have the tools, we just have to put them into practice!

I would highly recommend the five behaviours workshop to any organization or group, it will bring your team closer together and on the same page to work together confidently towards positive and impactful goals!

Working with Nancy and Lead Up Training & Consulting has been a game-changer for my business. Her ability to see the bigger picture while honing in on actionable steps is unparalleled.

From the very first session, I felt truly seen and understood. Nancy doesn’t just offer advice; she takes the time to listen, ask the right questions, and guide me toward solutions that feel aligned with my goals and values.

Her wisdom, patience, and unwavering support have been a source of inspiration. There were times when I doubted myself, but Nancy always seemed to know exactly what to say to help me refocus and push forward. She doesn’t just provide guidance; she is truly invested in your success and celebrates every win with you, big or small.

I reached for her at a critical time. The tools, insights, and confidence I’ve gained under their mentorship have been transformative for the clinic while still incorporating my core vision and goals of patient care and service. I am forever grateful for her dedication, kindness, and belief in me and my practice.

I had the privilege of attending Nancy Dewald's lecture, "Driving Performance with Accountability," at a recent OSI meeting and it has changed the way I interact with my team. Nancy's insights into accountability and effective staff coaching were transformative for my practice. 

She taught us how to identify and remove obstacles to achieving our practice goals and service levels, which has made a significant impact on our team's performance and culture. Nancy's approach to addressing performance successes and misteps was particularly valuable, as she provided practical strategies for on-the-spot coaching that has helped elevate team members to their fullest potential.

Moreover, her emphasis on effective communication strategies for constructive feedback has enabled me to foster a culture of growth and improvement within my practice. I learned to focus on behavior and the impact of actions on our standard of care, allowing me to provide feedback that is both meaningful and impactful.

Thanks to Nancy's guidance, I've seen a notable boost in team morale and overall performance. Her expertise has truly made a difference in our practice, and I am grateful for the skills I gained from her course.  If you're looking to enhance your team's effectiveness and drive performance, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Nancy Dewald.

Nancy and I have been working together for the last year on making a number of improvements in the office.

I found that I was attending conferences and CE’s and figuring out what I needed to do and work on in our office and I’d come back motivated and incredibly overwhelmed. I’d make no changes because the follow-through wasn’t there… that’s where Nancy came in. She’s helped me figure out the pain points (the easy part) and then we’ve made a plan to change it and then she’s the one that’s been implementing and holding us accountable. Since working with her we’ve started a Dry Eye Clinic and more recently we are starting up our Myopia Clinic (among many other things she has helped us implement).

She has a wealth of knowledge in all things Optometry!
