Here's what people are saying about working with us... "I found the concept of the change continuum very helpful. After I left the training session I attended a meeting back at the office and was able to identify where some of the people in the meeting were on the change continuum. Knowing this has also helped me develop some key messages to communicate to the people early on in the project to really help them understand why we are making this change, what the risk is of not changing and what the benefts are that they are going to see. These are the key messages that I am going to repeat again and again during the project." (Communicating for Change Workshop) Michelle Kaschl "Dawn-Marie did a fantastic job in extracting key pieces of information and opinions from all of our managers. While I was initially concerned that we would have too many observers and not enough participants, the process Dawn-Marie quickly got the entire team involved, and everyone left the session feeling like they had a real hand in the result. Most importantly, the participants left with a sense of responsibility for realizing the goals we set out as a team."
"A coach was what I needed when I was asked to recommend and facilitate the strategic planning process for my organization. Dawn-Marie Turner of Turner Change Management was able to aptly fill that role. Sometimes a five minute conversation was what was needed and other times more in-depth discussions were required. Much of this was done by telephone, which made it easier for me to meet some tight deadlines. Dawn-Marie always responded quickly to my calls and provided insight, guidance, and the occasional pep talk. Dawn-Marie’s professionalism, warmth, and high level of expertise make her the ideal coach." Tannis Magnusson, B.Ed. CHRP "The application of Lean principles is gaining momentum in all types of organizations. To truly harvest the benefits beyond the 'mere' execution of the tools & principles, change management is best applied holistically, in a strategic and diligent manner. Turner Change Management lays the foundation for the Lean practitioner in understanding cultural and organizational resistance and then reducing barriers. Dawn-Marie Turner shares the passion for preparing an organization and executing effective organizational change." Ralph Eschenwecker, P.Eng., CIM, CPIM "Turner Change Management's workshop entitled '10 Simple Rules for Healthy Organizational Change' was a wealth of information. Facilitator Dawn-Marie Turner provided practical and useful tools to benefit any organization implementing change. Managing healthy organizational change can be achieved and Turner Change Management provided me with simple rules that work." Christine Alongi "Finally - a scientific approach to organizational change that makes good sense. Dawn-Marie did an excellent job of explaining what's really going on in an employee's mind during a change, and what management can do to assist them through it."
Cal Harrison
President Beyond Referrals "We at Thompson Dorfman Sweatman (TDS) are in the early stages of acquiring a sophisticated new software system. Firm wide acceptance of related changes is critical if success is to be achieved. My attendance at a Turner Change Management seminar opened my eyes to the importance of the Change Continuum and the principles of change management, of which Dawn-Marie Turner so eloquently speaks. Subsequently, we invited her to present her core principles to our combined management and marketing committees. Her teachings are now playing a key role in what I'm confident, will be a successful rollout."

Managing organizational change and sustainability can be challenging, so today's leaders need an extensive knowledge of the change continuum. Their workshop also emphasized the importance of demonstrating strong and committed leadership throughout the transition plan." Derrick Saedal
