BC Power Peer
Network
Randy
and his team played an essential role in supporting the creation of the BC
Power Peer Network [a supply-chain network for BC's emerging fuel-cell industry, focuses on identifying and creating business opportunities in Asia]. iCentro was instrumental in designing a unique
structure and process for the PPN to enhance group cohesion, collaboration
and productivity.
iCentro’s
network tools were invaluable — they helped challenge the group’s
thinking to identify potential new projects and opportunities, and share and
leverage business leads and contacts. This quickly built a climate of trust,
openness and safety, and brought the group closer together, faster than I
considered possible.
The
PPN would not have enjoyed its current success without iCentro’s critical
design and facilitation skills, support and timely advice and feedback.

Thank you again for your time and assistance
this afternoon regarding the design and preparation for the team building
workshop in September (2005). I am both excited and energized about the
potential for this material to positively impact my Case Management
Team!
The time and efforts you are providing to our
agency will touch the lives not only of my staff, but the lives of the
hundreds of children and families with mental illness that we serve.

"After 15
years with the same company my networking skills needed a boost. iCentro's
Personal Networking System taught me valuable techniques that I am
using daily to grow my personal network.
It gave me simple tools
that I am using to expand the opportunities within my company and
my industry. It's also changed the way I think about meeting people."

"Thanks for
putting on a very interesting and active workshop last week - I really
enjoyed it.
I was disappointed that I had to sneak away without
saying thanks and goodbye to the others and I found that I really wanted
to take the time to meet the other attendees as well. Very cool and
dynamic environment created!
It will be
fun to see this at work with a larger group and to feel the energy.

"I
highly recommend this program — the lessons are invaluable, and the other
students are ‘go to’ people that provide important connections and a
great foundation for networking.
I’ve learned new ways of looking at every
situation, and this will provide me with an abundance of opportunities for years to come.

a method of uncovering hidden opportunities. Thank you, Randy, for giving me deeper

When I first met Randy, I was
pretty skeptical. But after a couple of meetings, and his
careful probing and insightful advice, it became clear to me
that iCentro's unique approach and career guidance was just
what I needed to kickstart my business.

Wortzel, Principal

As a
[former] small
business owner, I have not needed a resume for many
years. But wanting to explore some different
opportunities in a different field, I turned to the
professionals at iCentro to help me update and repackage
the presentation of my skills. Their
thoughtful and
creative approach helped me refocus my thinking and gain
valuable insights into what I have to offer.

My husband very much enjoyed his time
with you (Randy) and Casey. He felt as if both of you were listening
to him and that you cared. He never felt as if the two of you saw
him as "just another fee" or "another warm body."
He caught your vision and passion and felt the timing of all this is
absolutely in line with where he is right now. He would like to
proceed just as quickly as you feel is feasible.
And, from "the
spouse's perspective," thank you for taking the time and interest in
his situation. It was a great encouragement to him and I loved
hearing the excitement back in his voice when he related to me the
experience of his meeting with you. Thank you!

want to thank you again for all your continuing interest, guidance and
support - and for your friendship. They mean a lot to me.

iCentro
offers a refreshing alternative for IT job seekers.
They're 'heart-hunters', and have figured out how to
match people with their skills and passions for truly win-win
career choices in the hi-tech field. We
highly recommend them.

I've
seen first-hand the challenges faced
by entrepreneurs in finding qualified people to
jumpstart product development, penetrate new markets and build
strong successful companies. It's very disconcerting. iCentro
appears to offer a
significant and tangible way of addressing Canada’s critical
IT skills shortage.
