“I signed up for this workshop because I was looking for assistance with strategic planning around the dramatic business growth my company had been experiencing. The workshop was a powerful and productive exercise that helped me gain greater clarity around my goals and objectives and helped me develop a plan of action for moving forward. Enette is a brilliant planner with an extensive range of tools for examining and troubleshooting any challenge and I greatly appreciate her guidance and insights in my own journey to excellence.”
“Thank you Enette for giving me the opportunity to go deeper into my conscious and soul and awaken what I really love and dream. I believe in Dreaming Big and tell the word about it- but how can I get paid for it?! … I got many ideas and thought provoking questions to work on! I absolutely loved meeting everyone and connecting with such powerful group of participants.”
“When I heard about this program, I knew I was meant to be there. It was thought provoking, and stimulating, and in a very gentle, fun and interactive way, the program helped me distill my 'Big Cause' in a way that felt more natural to me, as if spoken by my heart, than other methods I had previously experienced. The goals and next steps to support my Big Cause are, in my opinion, the easy part now. I also enjoyed meeting 'and making new family members' with amazing participants. Thank you, Enette, for sharing your wisdom and mastery, and for gathering this beautiful circle of geniuses.”
“Thank you Enette for hosting such a wonderful session to help us find out inner 'fuel' and gain a new perspective on wealth! I'm very thankful to be part of this family and have met all these amazing and inspiring women. I looking forward to building a relationship with everyone and attending additional sessions.”
"Enette creates a safe environment to dig deep into a whole new world of possibilities. She helps to change the lens through which we see and shines light in dark places. Her targeted and compassionate questions evoked more meaningful answers, answers that peeled back another layer of my purpose and my legacy. I feel more supported than I ever have in my life thanks to what Enette has created with these groups."
“Enette continually blows my mind with her deep love for learning, teaching and leading. She is the ultimate example of an inspired leader – open, vulnerable, strong, the consummate re-framer and mind-messer. Thank you for your deep, pokey questions, and your plethora of ideas. I love hearing your favourite phrase: "I have an idea!" – I've learned to hold onto my "underwear" when I hear that statement! Thank you!”
“Enette is an incredibly brilliant woman and brings magic to master planning and everything she touches. The time we shared was transformational.”
“What an incredibly powerful experience. Never again will we have that EXACT opportunity to gather when our lives are at the places they were during the program. The connections were deep, insightful, timely and unforgettable. I am forever grateful. I left with my mind and heart filled and overflowing. Thank you Enette for creating the space and setting the tone with respect to the possibilities. Thank you to all of you who poured selflessly into my life and the lives of others. I am forever blessed by you all. Know that 'We've Only Just Begun'.”
“The safe space you created to allow each of us to play a much, much bigger game was most profound! I feel I have walked away with new ideas, new directions and especially new friends. Thank you for this amazing experience!”
“The session was exceptional. When we started, I immediately knew I was part of something special. I think that process enabled us all to feel we were part of a shared journey and we immediately experienced the value of bringing us together the way you did. I was also touched by your generosity of spirit! Thank you! The day I spent with everyone was transformative. My perspective has shifted and my commitment deepened. I'm so appreciative for everyone's attention and ideas as I shared my thoughts/plans. This was extremely beneficial!”
Energizing. Entusing. Enthralling. Enette's uncanny ability to project your vision on a panoramic screen will sweep you off your feet, blow your mind away and set you on a path to the stars. Powerfully transformational stuff!
Thank you again Enette for the Master Planning Weekend that enabled discovery... Discovery for us not only at an individual level but for us collectively as a group. I think we can definitely say that we all took away something special from the weekend - for some of us something profound; as the timing was right, for others; an invitation to be provoked to think differently and still others a challenge to get going.
I went from feeling I had to take on everything myself, which was impossible and overwhelming, to seeing I could let a few things go to another plate, that it was ok to let someone help. I cannot recall every exact word, but at the end of that hour, I felt I understood myself better, understood my reasons for doing what I do more clearly, you helped me see myself in a totally different way. You helped me help myself.
Enette was an effective listener and helped us gain insight into several key areas, including defining our purpose, identifying our areas of strength, understanding any partnership as a transformational investment, and sustaining long-term engagement from our stakeholders. Enette is an incisive thinker and articulate facilitator who I would highly recommend to any organization.
It is very important for our successful WPO members take time to reflect on the seven hidden investment accounts. I was appreciative of your focus of the WPO relationships and how to build on our network.Your presentation was a highlight of our WPO retreat.
The VBP Executive Intensive program has provoked lots of personal and organizational insights. Using the VBP tool I have found out precisely the strategic priorities of my organization and have discovered how related partnerships are working and not working for the benefit of us. I am now sharing the methodology with my team and they have been involved too in this process. The VBP has brought me to reflection and action for the better performance of my organization.
The VBP Principles have given our organization the tools to renovate our perspective about partnerships. It has given us the light to distinguish which partnerships are strategic and which we should dissolve so our energy and resources are focused on the most important priorities. It has lead us to leverage our performance, giving better results to our sponsors and beneficiaries.
Our organization has always valued partnerships but has never utilized a formal strategy to evaluate these partnerships and formulate a coherent plan. While conducting the VBP Audit we were able to prioritize the partnerships that contributed most significantly to our client services, leveraging our resources more effectively. The process led us through a coherent action plan guided by mutual values and realistic priorities. Our successful and measurable outcomes have proven the value of VBP for our organization.
As a small not for profit charity it is important that we have clear vision and strategic thinking in all areas of our organization. The VBP Audit and the Executive Intensive helps map out what your top priorities are and then use that as a lens when reviewing your current partnerships or analyzing any gaps. Having it mapped out all in one place ensures each department is aware of how our organization's relationships are mapped out and cross wired. It allows us as an organization to work smarter not harder.
