WHAT SPEAKING RELATED CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Roughly a year and a half ago, our department at Dalhousie decided we wanted to have our staff introduced to a customer service process that could be applied as they serve our clients. We heard that Corey (Poirier) had done work with other departments at the University with positive reviews, and results. We hired him to introduce our staff to a customer service process, and since that time, we have placed three separate groups in separate 6 month programs and also had Corey customize a session for our managers as well. I'm happy to say that thus far, our work with Corey has yielded positive reviews, and positive results!"

Alan Thomson Assistant Director (Academic Computing) Information Technology Services Dalhousie University

"We have received positive comments about your understanding of our industry challenges, your entertaining style and most importantly your clear and straight-forward message. Over the past 24 years we have enjoyed many presenters, but none more so than you"

Dean Hartman, Founder, and President and CEO of what was Nubody's Fitness before its sale to Goodlife Fitness

"Corey Poirier was one of the guest speakers at our recent Wilson's Go Store Conference. I was very impressed with how he used his own experiences and successes to give an excellent customer service presentation. You could tell the time was taken to customize the presentation to our company philosophy and current focus. His presentation was very positive, highly informative and best of all, entertaining! I personally feel Corey would be a great addition to any progressive operation's conference agenda."

Peter Smith President, Metro Building Supplies

"Phoenix has been fortunate to benefit from Corey's passion and positive outlook on life. In March 2010, he visited with the youth participating in the Transition Program at Phoenix's Learning & Employment Centre. The youth were quite happy with his session about Healthy Humour in which he shared with the group how to use humor in positive ways, where humor is appropriate, the difference between healthy & sarcastic humor (which can be very unhealthy) and life as a professional comedian. We are grateful that Corey believes in the potential of all youth and that he donated his services to help educate this special group of young people."

Lori Barker, Director of Development, Phoenix Learning & Employment Centre

"Thanks Corey, you do deliver a great message! Overall, the sessions went well, feedback was mostly positive, and the time booked out of the field was certainly worthwhile."

J. Keith Lambe Regional Manager (PEI) Bell/Aliant

I have met with Corey at a one-on-one level and have attended at least four of his speaking engagements. I am very impressed with his energy and enthusiasm and how much he enjoys and applies himself to his work. Corey has the ability to engage the audience, encourage reflection of our perceptions and practices, and challenge us to make improvements. If you are driven like me, have made commitments and goals to reach a certain level of success, and understand the principle of surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals; Corey Poirier is someone you should get to know.

Cory Sanford Vice-President - Commercial Division Premiere Van Lines

I have attended numerous training and events at which he has spoken and would highly recommend that any small, medium or large business hire him to motivate and educate their employees. He not only has great content which he customizes for each business, but also he presents in a very entertaining, engaging and dynamic way. He is like a Maritime version of Tony (Anthony) Robbins!"

It is evident as soon as you enter the room that Corey Poirier has oodles of enthusiasm. I have been fortunate to hear Corey speak on a number of occasions and each time I pick up a new tidbit of advice to implement in my business. Corey makes no bones about his past experiences, what worked in organizations and what didn't. A great storyteller, Corey brings back the basics on how to increase your business profitability by following a simple process on how to grow your business.
