Praise for Briefcase Moms®
Inspiring Organizations to Make Positive Changes
“I found your work-life presentation to be very powerful, engaging, informative, and insightful... and everyone I spoke with felt that you did a tremendous job in conveying an important and inspiring message. I enjoyed reading your book and will be implementing your practices in the group that I manage. I will also be doing my best to facilitate the implementation of your ideas in our broader organization."
Rick Wagner, Manager, Human Resources Operations, Environment Canada
Getting Audiences Thinking
"Thank you very much for your engaging lunchtime seminar on work-life balance. We were able to find out more about ourselves and our level of balance. Our audience found your presentation very motivational and came away with ideas for making their lives happier and guilt-free.”
Erin Bird, Manager, Human Resources, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP
Supporting Working Mothers to Find a Better Balance
“I was very impressed with the ‘Briefcase Moms® Program: 90 Days to a Balanced Life.” I found the program encouraging, inspiring and a real benefit to my busy life. As a result of my participation in this program, I find I take more time to reflect now and am working toward a more balanced life. I recommend this program to any working mother who needs more balance - whether you are just returning to work following your maternity leave (like me) or have been back in the workforce for a longer period of time.”
Helena Fehr, Board Secretary and Gender Officer, Commonwealth of Learning
Energizing Staff Groups to Take Action
"Lisa led our staff step by step through their needs for the day, an assessment of their current balance and, most importantly, toward making positive changes in their lives. She was organized, energetic and focused. Lisa helped us to keep in mind the importance of finding joy, making ourselves a priority and living by our values. Our Division has had other speakers in the past, but I can't recall any who produced such overwhelmingly positive feedback from our staff. We highly recommend Lisa Martin as a presenter for your organization."
Tim Stiles, Director, Corrections & Community Justice Division, JIBC
Offering Respite and Revelations for Working Mothers
"Many of us have been Briefcase Moms for years, balancing kids, career and whatever else flies our way. Lisa offers some respite. I recently attended one of her workshops and thought she was excellent. For many young working parents, what she has to say clearly comes as a revelation. And she says it so well. Lisa should be wrapped up in string and delivered, together with flowers, to every new parent. Second best, let them attend her workshop. She will make them smile. And she will let them know that the balance can not only be done, but it can be done well."
E. M. (Lisa) Vogt, Regional Managing Partner, McCarthy Tétrault LLP
Giving Companies a Competitive Edge
“Deloitte's success depends on attracting and retaining top talent. Briefcase Moms has helped us to better understand and support our working mothers. Providing these employees with a forum where they can explore and define a better balance shows that we value them. Our return on investment has been tremendous.”
Sean McConkey, Director, Human Resources, Deloitte
