“Our organization, like many others, is going through significant internal change, as well as grappling with a generationally diverse workforce and a rapidly changing technological platform. Workload pressure and stress are at an all time high. Shawn created an environment, far removed from the workplace and workplace roles, that allowed us to reconnect as human beings and to recognize the value of our colleagues as well as the impact our own behavior patterns can have on maximizing our potential as a team. He led the team through this process through fun, active and energizing exercises that brought everyone together and generated plenty of laughs and smiles along the way. I would highly recommend Shawn to any team looking to maximize their potential.”

“It was a pleasure working with Shawn in the planning and delivery of our 2-day leadership team retreat. From the planning stages through to the facilitation, Shawn was a consummate professional and easy to work with. His expertise and passion for organizational team building were evident as he led our team through a riveting series of fun, thought provoking activities. Teamwork and mutual respect were themes that were maintained throughout the retreat and positively impacted our team exercises.”

“I am writing to both endorse and recommend LiveMore Group as a provider of Corporate Team Building facilitation to any organization. Shawn helped us achieve the overall objective of the event as well as having fun along the way. The knowledge and skills we gained from our day together are already being applied in the office. I was very impressed with Shawn’s professionalism and passion for team development.”

“Shawn’s dynamic, inspirational presentation on teamwork was fantastic. Shawn’s simple techniques to motivate and recognize the members of our organization were simple, practical and relevant. His stories and use of multi-media captivated and engaged the audience. His presentation was an excellent reminder of the contribution volunteers to our organization. They go above and beyond…And Then Some!

 

“Shawn is a really inspirational man. I think it would be great for Shawn to speak in high schools. I think too many individuals who do not fit into traditional educational systems struggle to fit into “mainstream” careers, and Shawn’s finding something that fits so perfectly for him would be a nice thing to show high schoolers. It may get them thinking outside the box about career. Thank you so much for presenting to our AAHP recognition celebration audience. The presentation left me with a really positive feeling.”

On behalf of myself and the entire team here at Meridian, I would like to thank you so much for the very informative and inspiring session you shared with us. The valuable tools and accomplishments that you presented on team-building and leadership, as fostered from your many life experiences on leading wilderness expeditions, was absolutely perfect. In reflecting upon your experiences and using these situations to communicate your lessons was not only captivating, but very intense and high-energy. I was really impressed on how you personalized and customized the presentation for Meridian. Despite the vast differences between wilderness survival and the engineering consulting industry, I was truly amazed on how your experiences and skills developed on these expeditions were so transferable and valuable to the growth of our very own engineering team. Your presentation left us with not only the excitement and enthusiasm to improve professionally, but to also evaluate our personal lives and make all of our teams strong.

“This is my second time working with Shawn and once again he has been an outstanding facilitator for our team building session. He brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience working with teams. His messages are delivered in a style that is interactive, thought provoking and a lot of fun at the same time. Shawn created a positive learning environment where our group members felt comfortable to share insightful personal information that will help our team reach its full potential. The varied sessions took us out of our daily routines and assisted to look at ourselves from different angles. The feedback communication skills that we learned and practiced were being implemented upon returning to the office. Shawn’s inspirational presentation on The Power of Teams shared invaluable lessons that will resonate with our team.”

“Shawn Stratton’s, Team Building training session for the North East Avalon YMCA’s senior leadership team was fantastic! Our non-profit organization is dealing with growth and motivational challenges and out hope was to offer supervisory staff some additional strategies. Shawn’s presentation, “Motivation at Work” offered valuable insight into the varying perspectives encountered at work. We appreciated the time he took both before the conference and during to talk with our planners to deepen his understanding of our group. Throughout the interactive session Shawn provided solutions that were relevant and usable, as well as valuable takeaways. We were all talking about ‘the amazing display of team work’ in the story (and images) that Shawn shared from his expedition in the Himalayas. It was a pleasure working with Shawn.”

 

“Shawn uses insightful, often hilarious, stories ranging from the Himalayas to the 2013 Boston Marathon to create powerful lessons for everyday challenges that resonated with the audience at our AGM'”
