He was able to connect effectively with people who have varying skill sets and personalities and was able to challenge their thinking to enable them to be more effective leaders. Ian is very collaborative and displays a high degree of skill and personal integrity in addition to a deep understanding and passion for his subject matter.”

"Ian provided leadership consulting and executive coaching to a number of my team. He invested the time to understand our culture and each individual's needs.

His inspiring, humble, personal coaching style was a real game changer for me, and helped me strengthen my leadership style for success. I also benefited from his consulting support to develop new ways of working within my team, and more efficient stakeholders management in a complex matrix environment."

Ian's relaxed, but honest style combined with his depth of knowledge and experience has made my job easier time and time again. Personally, Ian has provided insights that have made me a better executive and escalated my own career path. He has also been integral in several talent management successes we have orchestrated over the years. Ian is the partner I would readily add to the team again and again to ensure our collective success."

“It was terrific having Ian speak to a group of High School students that are part of an SASF After-School Program. He was engaging and great at relating to the students through sharing his personal experiences of when he was younger and listening to them share their own goals. He brought enthusiasm to the visit, which in turn energized the students.

“Ian volunteered in my high school business classroom to teach a Junior Achievement 'Business Ethics and Social Responsibility' unit. He brought knowledge, passion and humor.

They offer added value by making introductions to peers in other companies. They are one of very few vendors with whom I have developed a lasting relationship and a high degree of trust.”

“I was looking for a practical program to help 3 of my line managers with their personal and leadership development. People Assured brought a wealth of IT Management and Leadership Development experience to the program which was very beneficial to the associates – they certainly got a lot out of the experience.”

Thank you for a job very well done!”
