"Carl facilitated the senior executive team through the use
of a number of important change management tools. The purpose of the exercise
was to ensure that the team was developing the best possible strategy to ensure
that there was maximum buy-in for these initiatives.
The sessions were a combination of learning the tools and
applying them to our own immediate situation.. These tools were practical and immediate. They helped us
develop a vision for the initiative, identify stakeholders and their needs, and
find ways to communicate the initiative in ways that people could understand.
At the conclusion of these sessions we were able to put in place an action plan
took into account stakeholder needs and concerns.
As a trainer
and facilitator, Carl more than satisfied our needs. With his skills and
professionalism, he was able to quickly understand our situation and culture
and customized sessions that had
us working productively and in a focused way.
I would enthusiastically recommend him."

"Carl Aspler was exactly what the doctor ordered for this animation production unit facing many business-growth challenges. His style was engaging and accessible to managers across a wide spectrum of experience, and he packed a wallop of wisdom and practical tools into a single day session, with the intuition to keep it relevant and customized to the company's unique culture. We will use him again and I would readily recommend Mr. Aspler to any company looking to bolster its leadership."

"Being an experienced facilitator myself, and having seen good and bad facilitation, I can say without a doubt that Carl is the best of them. Even under difficult circumstances he manages to move the group forward, keep the group energized, and make them feel as though they thought of and controlled the entire process. In a word: amazing!"
