“Morag was my leadership coach during the last two and a half years. I found Morag to be an excellent source of guidance and knowledge for all the leadership challenges I found as I started my leadership career. She is very diligent, thorough, and skilled. She would always help me find the answer by myself in a constructive and positive way. Her attitude is always positive and supportive, and she is very knowledgeable. It did not matter how challenging and conflictive my week had been, I would always feel positive and strong after seeing Morag.”

“I began working with Morag in 2007 at the Calgary International Airport International Facilities Project. The client, YYC, very much believes in the partnering process. Morag has been involved with the IFP team in both partnering and facilitating roles over the last 4 years. Partnering with a diverse team made up of client, Program Manager, Designers, and Construction Managers can prove to be very challenging to say the least. Along with the use of many excellent tools, such as Insights, Morag has managed to obtain buy-in to the process from every stakeholder involved in the program, no small feat.
Morag has exceptional skills in being able to identify potential relationship issues, crystalize them, reflect them back to the team, and facilitate solutions for the team. Morag has facilitated individual team’s sessions such as the Program Manager’s retreat which was undertaken earlier this year to great success. One key stakeholder commented after this particular session ‘I’ve been to many of these so-called facilitation sessions over the years and this is the first one where the facilitator managed to engage everyone and facilitate real outcomes that can be applied for the success of the program.’ Indeed, the outcomes were in fact applied to the program and met with astounding success, bringing the team to the next level of performance.
Morag has worked with our team over the last 4 years assisting us in navigating through a very challenging program, and we look forward to her continued involvement through to activation day in 2015.”

“I have worked with Morag Ritchie many times over the years under varying circumstances and she is by far the most professional, authentic, honest, compassionate, and insightful coach that I have ever met. Her keen sense of humor and ability to cut to the chase leaves those working with her pleasantly surprised by what they learn of themselves, their co-workers and their environment. I would highly recommend Morag for her ability to facilitate both group workshops and individual coaching sessions. She’s the real deal.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Morag for many years. First, as a colleague and continuing now as a coach, consultant and facilitator. Every time we get a chance to work together has been a learning experience and an absolute pleasure. Morag is very skilled at leading a group through learning, planning and team-building. Her ability to facilitate, problem-solve, and keep a group moving towards their goals – that she’s helped reveal – is outstanding. She does this with an emphasis on making the process enjoyable. Every day we have worked together has included laughter and I always come away feeling like we accomplished a lot, but still had a great deal of fun doingit. Thanks Morag!”
