Comments & Feedback
"I would highly recommend Grant Fairley of Toronto Seminars. He is one of the
best presenters I’ve seen in his ability to engage an audience and invoke their
contribution. His presentations have the right balance of content and “real
life” application examples that make them entertaining, educational and
relevant…I have always left Grant’s presentations inspired and with something
new and valuable to bring back to my workplace and clients."

"Our field staff from across Canada were
pleasantly surprised with the How To Give Great Customer Service seminar.
They’ve done various personality trait assessments in the past, but they really
connected and identified with the shape characterization for personality
assessment. It was entertaining but most importantly it will resonate with them
at each and every farm they visit for some time. Our people learned a lot about
themselves, their own strengths and weaknesses, and thinking of the special
people in their lives who have been very important in their personal
development. We were very impressed how you could address the crowd for
4-hours, and keep the undivided attention of the entire group as you spoke with
minimal notes or multi-media dependence. You drew on real-life day-to-day
examples for which our people could easily relate to.
Your talk on serving customers in the field
was very much appreciated and reminded our field staff how their customer
service skills and passion for the business can deteriorate over time if they
don’t make efforts to revitalize themselves throughout their careers. One other
segment that was particularly beneficial was forgive and forget. The concept
that you must forgive and forget, not for the benefit of the other person, but
for yourself in releasing the burden and negative that is dwelling inside. I
believe our staff learned a lot in a short period of time that will help them
immensely in both personal well-being and serving customers. Thanks again Grant
for the great day!"

Thinking in a
Win-Lose World”.
It is a perennial challenge for us to get a high quality speaker who can address

only
did a great job. You hit a homerun! The feedback from your keynote address has
been
extremely positive - well balanced with the right mixture of humour, business
lessons,
storytelling and motivation. Without a doubt you set the tone for a Business

Once again Grant, thank you so much for coming to Sarnia Lambton and delivering
