I’ve worked with Corina both one-on-one as my coach and attended her Managing Difficult Conversations workshop and both situations have been eye-opening and great experiences. Like most people, I struggle with having difficult conversations, and her workshop provided a fantastic framework that I can use for future reference. She is a great teacher who makes the information interesting and breaks it down to be very easy to understand. I would highly recommend to anybody, especially anyone who struggles with communicating effectively.
The framework that she provided was absolutely wonderful – my biggest takeaway was being able to shift my mindset to understand that there is a formula for having these difficult conversations and that you can apply the framework to any situation, both in business and personal relationships to create better communication – difficult conversations can lead to better relationships!

We’ve very much enjoyed working with Corina on multiple occasions – most recently – she created a tailored program for us that allowed for training without interruption to our operation. Corina was flexible around our schedule and offered multiple, small group sessions to our staff. Her professionalism is unwavering and her delivery is consistent and effective.
The value of having an external partner to come in and coach our employees has a different affect over attempting to do it in-house. It offers an added layer of transparency and a confidentiality component whereby participants really open up and are willing to share their opinions. Corina quickly made our staff feel at ease, allowing for free-flowing collaboration. Corina finds the right balance by then summarizing those insights for management to utilize for continuous improvement. Overall a great experience with lasting impact – highly recommend!

Corina's energy and skill combination were the perfect fit for our group session on stress management. She is very relatable, personable and a very good listener as well as a speaker. Her knowledge delivery and content were well received, and each individual was left feeling empowered by their new perspective on how to manage their daily work/life stresses and struggles. Corina was a breath of well needed fresh air and I would highly recommend her for any life enhancing speaking engagement!

Workshop & Keynote Reviews
Corina’s Emotionally Intelligent Leader workshop provided me with actionable strategies that I can apply immediately in my life and work. Corina creates an engaging learning experience through storytelling and by balancing theory with practical activities. Learning how and when to use different leadership styles has already been valuable in leading and engaging my own team.
Corina’s session left me feeling inspired to be a better leader and looking forward to learning more about emotional intelligence. Oddly enough, my biggest takeaway was the power of a good, deep breath. It’s something that I do all the time but take for granted all too often. I’m much more conscious of the power of a single breath.

I found the Emotionally Intelligent Leader workshop helped me understand how EQ differentiates a good leader from a GREAT LEADER. The EQ-i2.0 self-assessment tool proved to be a great way to build self-awareness so we can easily identify areas we need to improve upon so we can be at our optimal best when we show up as leaders in the workplace. By delving into the 3 areas of the brain that affect our emotions, it helped me understand how triggering behaviours impact our emotional responses and can derail your effectiveness as a leader.
I particularly enjoyed the discussion around the 6 styles of leadership. It helped me identify my own personal leadership style and which styles are better used to achieve optimal outcomes depending on the situation at hand. There was great delivery with lots of in interactive exchanges and engagement by all attendees. I’d highly recommend the workshop to anyone aspiring to become a leader or those looking to improve their approach to leadership.

I found the Managing Difficult Conversations session helpful and was so pleased with myself that I took the time to enroll in the class. Corina has a nice style – engaging so many participants in such a short time and still covering the material is no easy task. The biggest take away for me was the fact that if we frame these conversations as “difficult” then the energy we bring is usually stained. Starting to frame my internal chatter a little differently is the foundation for better outcomes. I thank Corina for that perspective.

Corina's keynote helped our entire management team deepened our understanding of the connection between emotional intelligence and effective leadership. Corina engages and captivates her audience through storytelling, humour, and thought-provoking questions. Her content was well-thought-out, and she empowered everyone to apply her tools and strategies when we return to work. Corina followed up after our leadership summit with more helpful tools our Managers can use daily. I highly recommend Corina to other organizations who want to unlock their leadership potential.

Corina Walsh is an excellent facilitator. Her workshop on conflict management and resolution explores the causes of conflict and the strategies we can use to deal with it effectively - skills everyone can use in the personal and the professional sphere. I learned a lot!

Corina speaks of real-life issues that are applicable in any business. This session was super helpful to me and the success of my business. I strongly recommend the ‘Difficult Conversations for Entrepreneurs’ workshop for any business owner.

At the Chamber of Commerce, we’re all about networking. We were delighted to have Corina speaking as a keynote for our breakfast event. We received a positive response from attendees on the value of Corina’s message, and everyone left upbeat, and with some great takeaways on little steps that can transform how they work and relate with others. Looking forward to having her back again soon!

Corina's presentation, Harnessing Emotional Intelligence to Build a Safer Workplace, gave great insight into the five components of emotional intelligence and how we, as individuals and as organizations, can manage these components to be more responsible and effective. She demonstrated how we can reduce inattention, zoning out and mind-wandering and how we can improve communications and individual well-being through empathy, active caring and thought awareness, and how each of these and other emotion-based factors impact workplace safety. I would recommend Corina to any organization wishing to explore emotional intelligence.

I was privileged to attend the 25th Annual Alberta Construction Safety Association conference in Edmonton. It was my expressed pleasure to listen to Mrs. Corina Walsh talk about emotional intelligence. I came away with some great knowledge regarding leadership and strategies in today’s ever-changing work environment. Corina is passionate in what she does and a great speaker. I was challenged to take my leadership to the next level.

I most enjoyed the way the information in our session was linked to the science of human behaviour and psychology. This course will greatly improve the way I interact with my co-workers.

My biggest takeaway from Corina’s Managing Difficult Conversations workshop was learning how important it is to set boundaries and to say no (nicely!) when being asked to do too much.
Corina’s workshop really changed the way I think about difficult conversations. Previously, I would avoid these kinds of conversations by doing whatever I could to make the other person happy and bending to their needs. Now, I realize how important it is to voice my concerns and feelings as well.
I would recommend this training to others because you may not realize how important it is to have a path to follow when navigating difficult conversations in the workplace until you attend this workshop. It is an actual skill set and there are things you can do, and approaches you can take, to be successful. I think anyone from employees to high level managers and business owners will benefit from this training and take away actionable strategies that they can use in their workplaces.
