do these words ring a bell?

Course Overview

Coach, Mentor, Role Model, Supporter, Guide… do these words ring a bell? Being a coach involves being able to draw from several disciplines. Coaching is based on a partnership that involves giving both support and challenging opportunities to employees. Mentorship is a related skill that is often a part of coaching. It’s about being a guide, offering wisdom and advice when it is needed.

Knowing how and when to coach (and when to use other tools, like mentoring) is an essential skill that can benefit both staff and the organization.

    • Capturing the magic…

      “In March, several of my clients were really struggling. They had cornerstone marketing events disrupted by the pandemic. Incredibly quickly, Louis helped them to reimagine their conference, explore the possibilities of how a virtual event could capture the magic of an in-person event, and he showed them a path forward.” – Jeremy Miller, Sticky Branding

    • Please Mom – just stop!

      “My son and his team are awesome, but I don’t want this to go to his head, so I’m only leaving 2 stars!” – Mary, Louis’ mother.

    • So easy to work with …

      I have been contracting LMT for several years now, primarily for sourcing venues to hold training. The service was always amazing and the team so easy to work with. It therefore came as no surprise that when our country was stopped still due to COVID-19, Louis and team were able to pivot and adapt so quickly. I now contract them for all my production needs as our training has moved to the virtual space. They are able to put our Presenters at ease with a new medium … folks who are used to standing in front of a class … and take away all production related worries, leaving them to focus on delivering material to our learners. Service provision in both English and French, across all times zones, has been awesome. It’s easy to see that as a company, they put great priority on being efficient and effective … booking and billing are as easy as actual classroom time. A pleasure to work with AND recommend. – Jane Bradbrook, Program Manager, MFD and PFS, RBC

    • We love giving pleasure …

    • We’re instruments …

      Moving our live international conference to a virtual format seemed like a daunting task.   The team at Learngistics jumped right in and have been instrumental in delivering a quality production and guidance through the entire project.- Craig German, Director Of Marketing, Deighton

      When we launched I4PL’s Certificate Programs, we needed a place to run our courses. I contacted Louis, and it was the best decision I could have made.

Whether it’s rooms in Toronto or Ottawa, they’re my go to team. – Steve Blane, Program Director, I4PL Certificate Programs
