Testimonials
What they're saying about our programs

“Leadership is an act of the heart as much as it is an application of the mind. Great leaders, in my opinion, inspire as much through their spirit as through their vision. I attended The Trust Program because it provided me the opportunity to leave behind the day-to-day demands of running a company to explore the deeper and more subtle aspects of leadership: heart, spirit and trust. The program is an inspiring mix of learning, introspection, dialogue and group dynamics. I recommend The Trust Program to anyone interested in exploring their relationship with this powerful but less-well understood side of being human. It has helped me be a better leader both in my company and in my personal life.”
Jim Roche, President & CEO, Tundra Semiconductor Corporation, Ottawa

"The Trust Program is a transforming experience. I can see how the puzzle pieces of my life fit together. I now know clearly what I believe and I have a solid foundation on which to create my life from here on.”

“Words cannot express my appreciation for this experience.”

“Dear Cindy,
It has been four months since I returned from The Trust Program. I know how incredible I felt after leaving the program, but I was curious to see how I would operate in the real world. Now four months later, my life is better and more enriched than I could ever have anticipate. My success in business since returning has been greater than any other period in my life in business. My personal relationships are deeper, my relationship with my wife and stepchildren is strengthened…I’m personally speaking to all my friends and business colleagues about all the programs that Constellation Learning offers. I truly believe in the work that Constellation Learning does, and I will continue to support your programs as long as I’m breathing on this earth.”
Bruce Oliver, Sales, Weston Forest Corp., Woodstock

"The Trust Program has restored my sense of personal power – a feeling I haven’t had since I was a child. It’s not that I have it all figured out, I just have faith that over time I’ll get what I need to continue to learn and in the meantime, all I need to do is trust and be myself.”
Karen Black, Toronto

"What I've learned here at the Trust Program will not only affect where I go but how I get there. [I'm leaving] with a renewed sense of excitement and confidence for my own game of life... This class is sure to help people uncover answers within themselves to questions they've never taken the time to ask."
