From Strangers to Supporters: Real Conversations Around My Work 💬✨

I am endlessly grateful for the wave of support from across the globe—each like, share, and comment
has turned my work into our mission. 🙏💫

Here are the Thoughtful Remarks of those who once were strangers, now voices in a
shared story of connection and growth… 📖💬

For ’12 Reasons Marketing Must Change to Survive’..."Thanks Roy, great marketing points. Starting next week I am teaching an intro to Marketing course, and will use your article as an example."

— Bart Zych, MBA, Leadership, Sales, & Communication Trainer, Vancouver BC

For Leadership By Serving Around - "Thanks for sharing +Roy Osing. I love hearing about 'conversation changers' that change old mindsets. Love this quote from blog: "It’s time we changed the conversation from managing to serving leadership; from managing output and controlling productivity to serving people and enabling them, and the organization, to realize their greatness."

— Alan Goldsberry, Google+ Friend

For 8 Practices of Dog Food Leaders... "Thanks Roy. An eye opener for companies who think they walk the talk. Have tweeted about it too. Cheers!"

— Nerio Vakil, President Total Business Solitions, Mumbai, India

For Old school leadership... "Excellent article. I think your comments about 'Lose your groupies' hits the mark. You see senior leaders and their posse striding through hallways, engaged in their special conversations. You see senior teams sitting at special VIP or head table at regional and national meetings. And, they all sit together at the luncheons and dinner events."

— Gayle Hallgren-Rezac, Networking Expert, Co-Author Work The Pond!, Chief Engagement Officer, Shepa Learning Company, Vancouver BC

For I lost the top job, and I'm better for it... "Dear Mr. Osing, I just wanted to thank you for sharing "How losing made me a better leader." I recently lost a selection process myself, and I'm struggling to coach myself back to full morale in the absence of any real mentorship. Reading your article this morning was like having a much-needed coffee with someone I can look up to. Thank you once again."

— Sarah

For Don't just be a great leader, be a stand out leader... "Thanks for another inspiring moment, looking forward to get more inspiration from you during the coming year!"

— Egon de Haas, PwC, Global Director, Government & Public Services

"Thanks again for leading us through the Strategic Game Plan Process for each of our Business Units with us this week; you made my job relatively easy.
I think we now have a clear overall very challenging strategic plan to implement over the next 24 months, and as we both know what really matters now is the implementation and execution. I enjoyed working with you and look forward the reviewing our progress with you on a quarterly basis.”

— Tom Rose, President and CEO, Layfield Group of Companies, Richmond BC

"Excellent piece in the Globe Leadership Lab Series Roy.
I look forward to your next one.
And yes, here at the Tsawwassen Springs we are focused on helping the terrific people on our team (Brock, Glen and all the others) to develop and build the best community possible. Leadership by Serving Around is a very good idea, and your article is very well written. Thanks for passing it along.


— Ross Clouston, P.Eng. MBA, President Talisman Homes Ltd. Vancouver

"Roy Osing is a great story teller! In Marketing in The Storm, Roy packs lots of practical wisdom anchored to his years of experience in marketing. Each chapter makes you think!"

— Jagdish N. Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing, Goizueta Business School, Emory University, U.S.A.


"I invited Roy to speak to the Vancouver Women Presidents' Organization on his Strategic Game Plan creation process and it was an overwhelming success.
Not only did the attendees take away Roy's extremely practical methods to develop a strategy that can be executed, they all enjoyed the learning experience. I would recommend Roy to any organization looking to take their game to the next level."

— Barbara Mowat, President, Impact Communications Ltd. and GroYourBiz
