Conflict Resolution

When I read Humanize: how people-centric organizations succeed in a social world, I knew Jamie Notter was an expert in navigating the changing business world we live in and that his thoughts aligned with the vision we had for Impact99, Canada's Social Workplace HR Summit. I engaged Jamie to be our Opening Keynote presenter and he exceeded our expectations. He was an absolute delight to work with - flexible to our attendees' needs, making sure his content was relevant to them. Our delegates LOVED his keynote and learned a lot about how humanizing your organization isn't about the fluff - it's about real business systems and strategies that drive innovation and results. Great job - I would highly recommend him if you're looking for an engaging and thought provoking speaker.

I started having my staff work with Jamie when I had to terminate a difficult senior manager and rebuild the staffing structure and system in the wake of that decision.

I then had him come back several times for a "check in" about once a year. The staff found it really useful - and it kept us moving on target with our goals as a staff team and was great in aligning what the staff was doing with the board's strategic direction and increased focus on certain program areas. He also helped provide a perspective and focus for me that otherwise would have been difficult for me to obtain as I was so on the "inside" with my staff.

He has a great manner with individuals and doing group work and is easy to work with.

He also served as a "coach" for my staff which had great results in their ability to work better as a team and to understand my expectations.

Jamie has a unique ability to connect big ideas to the day-to-day human experience. He understands deeply the challenges that leaders face, and his thoughtful point of view and sage advice are incredibly useful to all organizations, regardless of type, size or scope.
