I have taken some of Roberta's workshops in the past and now she is coaching me on my career path. She doesn't just spout some pre-scripted information, she actually comes from the heart and has helped me dig into my own profile to discover and access my strengths. If you need someone with solid thinking and the ability to help bring out your best or coach you in business, this is who you need to work with.

Roberta has got 'the knack'. Period. She so loves people, that she naturally puts you at ease because you feel she is there for you. Not to mention the fact that every time I sit down with Roberta, there is one big 'ah hah moment'. Its uncanny. It's not just a good idea, or something worthwhile to work on. It's a real big hairy audacious 'ah hah moment'. And she really knows how to pull it out of me, how to ask the right questions for the situation, which constantly changes. Plus, she actually listens to what you have to say, and from her incredible depth of knowledge and experience, responds in your best interest, not hers.

I've had the privilege of working with great organizations as a training, culture and development role. Our strategies were ground-breaking but the execution needed to be on-point for these strategies to stick. At that time I was introduced to Roberta Sawatzky, whom I had heard from previously from one of my strongest friends and mentor in high regard as well.
Roberta was willing to sit down with me for an hour each week to understand our goals, identify my strengths and push the S#&! out of me to help refine the imperfections out of my training and delivery techniques and teach me techniques that not only helped us ROCK our strategy roll-out successfully, but helped me grow personally and professionally leaps and bounds from where I was.
The many successful projects, referrals, successful courses and accolades over the past couple years all stem down to your shared wisdom to a young man who you demanded greatness from and showed the path on how to achieve it.
I am forever grateful!
