Testimonials about our Fellows and Affiliates
Angela Airall
Angela and the Programme helped me stop and think about what is important, what is standing in the way of my getting to my true purpose. Angela was very caring and genuine in her pursuit of helping people to be more peraceful and happy.
Jay Rogers, VP Recruiting, Vedior, USA
The end result was extremely worth the experience. Angela did an excellent job of facilitation, coaching us to reach our goals and helping us to get to know each other.
Lynne Dunn, Vedior, USA
Angela and Andrew are great! They did an excellent job of opening me up to my purpose, something I didn't think could happen.
Keisha Findley, Graduate Student, Duke University Graduate School, USA
Graham Bird
Graham is the only person I know who is able to go into a new company and carry out effective training from day one. His ability to communicate information is excellent and he really is able to turn 'a sow’s ear into a silk purse'.
Ian Jollife, Marketing Director, Noel Tatt, Canterbury, UK
When we set out to find a training programme for our staff I wondered how anyone could understand what we needed. We are a unique organization so we needed something unique and tailored for us. Some companies offered off-the-shelf packages; others scratched their heads and ‘guessed’, Graham actually insisted on visiting us on-site to see what we needed before they would offer any type of course. Once he knew us he delivered a truly bespoke programme that required an impressive amount of knowledge, skill and flexibility on his part, and as it was designed just for us it met and exceeded our expectations. Thankfully it doesn’t end there as Graham’s relational approach to all they do means we will be having follow up training in the future – and we’re actually looking forward to it! Graham Bird’s professionalism and enthusiasm are an inspiration to those who are fortunate enough to spend time with him.
Rob Cairncross, Purser Mercy Ships, Stevenage, UK
I know meeting you opened my mind and eyes to all sorts of possibilities and there is no way I would be taking this road had we not met. So I wanted to say a big "Thank You" for helping me to realise my own potential.
Janet Wilks Team Manager British Gas, Leeds, UK
Gia Campari
Gia enjoys a pragmatic style in developing the team, she basically took a bunch of sceptical managers and made them more challenging of both the business and themselves, the neat thing is that we are still receiving benefits from a programme that finished years earlier . It’s difficult and subjective to look for returns on this type of investment but sometimes you just know that it was right
Bryan Pryce, CEO, Planit
Elena Cartasegna
Elena is a real gem in the world of leadership development. She has experienced what it's like to lead in the corporate world first hand, but she draws from a much broader and fascinating range of skills and experiences to unblock whatever is in the way of growth.
Elena is smart, insightful and very passionate about her work. She is quick to recognize what's needed in sticky situations. I love working with her and I learn from her every time. I recommend Elena to anyone who's interested to grow personally or as a group.
Marilien Romme, Founder and Director, Bone Coaching, Europe
Elena was incredible. We were able to have open, honest and meaningful discussions because of her skills and demeanour.
Chris Mader, National Sales Director, Vedior, USA
Andrew Cohn
Essentially, the workshop allowed each participant to take time for a sort of honest self-reflection to get in tune with the past realities of their life, their current situation, and to elaborate the details of how they would like to live the next chapter of their life. I believe one of the keys to this unique process was having somebody ask the right questions so that the answers that came from within were both meaningful and beneficial to illuminating the path. Happily, I believe Andrew has found his own higher purpose in facilitating these workshops for others. He truly has a gift for this!
Justin Brame, Account Manager, The ChicoBag Company, USA
Andrew was great in the way that he helped me and the rest of us frame our positions. I totally enjoyed the people I met and the trust they put in me by sharing their world.
Charles Anamelechi, Graduate Student, Duke University Graduate School, USA
Angela and Andrew are great! They did an excellent job of opening me up to my purpose, something I didn't think could happen.

Judy Johnson
Judy has that ability to alter, accommodate, merge ideas, providing the right time and right training and dialogue in groups. My leadership group, who are a tough sell sometimes, are energized by this work and Judy has earned their respect.
Jill Robbins, BSc, OT, MHSA, Director Rehabilitation Services, Capital Health
Through Judy's clarity, insightfulness, ability to get at the core/root/truth of issues, all problems seem to get resolved. Judy is also a participant when interviewing potential high-level hires, as her intuition and ability to analyze a person's essence is quite extraordinary. I trust her recommendations completely.
Dominique Digesu, COO, Metals Economics Group
I regard Judy as a key to the development of our culture - and of practical ways to develop organizational and management processes consistent with our culture. As a result, we have been able to develop our company based on principles of participation and respect in ways I could not envisage on my own. Judy's impact on our business has been substantial. Her support, insight and intelligence over the years have been incredibly helpful. She has an uncanny ability to understand what makes people tick. She has a thorough understanding of process, both theoretically and practically. And she has a flexible, engaging and energetic way of bringing ideas into group settings.
Michael Scott, Chairman & CEO, Precision BioLogic Inc
Excellent facilitation. Judy is a wonderful person who is intuitive and promotes openness and discussion. The group was very open, honest, revealing, and this was refreshing and insightful.
Greg Coir, Executive VP, Vedior, USA
Lasse Wrennmark
Immediate trust was built among participants and course leaders. Total lack of prestige/competition caused very fruitful discussions.
Per-Anders Cleve, Project Leader, Group Strategic Planning, Sweden
Lasse Wrennmark makes the difference.
Joakim Lindgren, Head of Front and Middle Office IT, SEB Wealth Management, Sweden
Lasse is a very professional, yet personal, consultant. He has always been very sensitive to me as a person or to members of a group. He shares his personal experiences in a balanced and generous way. The OLA structure is always very present in Lasse's work. I have the greatest confidence in him and would recommend him to anyone.
Anna Serner, CEO, TU (Swedish Media Association), Stockholm
Roxane Loiseaux
Roxane has the ability to get into our lives and become an extraordinary conductor of our small group workshops.
Werner Schuler, CEO Media Networks, Latin America, Telefonica Peru
Our coach Roxane, was excellent, giving us space, but at the same time facilitating to get the most out of the group.
Ricardo Galli, Director of Marketing, Telefonica Argentina
Ken O'Donnell
At the start I wasn’t sure what to expect given the way my life was at the time. I’m leaving with a great sense of satisfaction with the inner peace that the experience has given me. It was great to discover that we’re all the same and all part of a greater whole, and to find new ways of sharing. The inner peace that Ken imparts brought out the best in all of us. I will be recommending this programme to my colleagues.
Grisel Ottonello , Plant Manager, Laboratorios Roemmers, Uruguay
