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

"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.

"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

"I just love your books. Short, crisp, relevant, focussed and hard-hitting. Marketing in the Storm is 45 pages of dynamite to help marketeers understand what is important for today's customers and what keeps them coming for more. You are right....it is about "experiences", not "products".
This book is highly recommended not just for new marketeers but also seasoned ones who still play by yesterday's rules. The quote from Nelson Jackson, " I do not think you can do today's job using yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow" is the essence of your book. Loved reading it."

— Nerio Vakil, President Total Business Solutions, Mumbai India

"What I really liked about your Six Acts of Leadership presentation was that it got my mind of business matters of the day and up in the clouds where we should be as business owners. It also high-lighted the need that as part of planning we need to be considering how to be different so this is a good start to our session.
Finally, the presentation has 'nuggets' that we preach all the time but which our people have to hear from elsewhere so that it resonates with them."

— Don Matthew, CA, Partner, KPMG LLP

"In Marketing in The Storm, Osing shouts out a convincing argument for smart marketers to heed: Take the time to respect your customers' uniqueness, or get tuned out."

— Lori Leavitt Evans, Serial Entrepreneur

"Roy nails it again! Marketing in the Storm discusses the unusual disturbance of the once normal conditions of the business atmosphere, manifesting itself by winds of unusual force or direction. Today's business is often accompanied by a rebellious climate of uncertainty, new rules, procurement, trust and lack of client know how. He's scary correct with his insights. Read it and maybe survive."

— Frank Palmer, CEO DDB Canada

“I thoroughly enjoyed BE DiFFERENT YOU! It is very informative and written in an easy-to-read style that is complete with examples and real-life situations, which the author recants throughout the book. I would categorize this book as one which should be included in anyone’s repertoire of must-read literature. The advice and tips are sound and presented in a way that makes implementing them a doable action for anyone looking to make a career by reinventing themselves to move up the corporate ladder. I have and will continue to recommend this book as an important source for business and personal growth.”

— Cynthia Trivella, Director HR Communications, Open to Business Opportunities, Kansas City, Missouri”

"Roy has put in words something businesses (and governments for that matter) should all aspire to achieve - to dazzle their customers (or us as citizens). His Six Acts of Leadership provide a clear and simple roadmap to achieve a unique strategic path to sustainable success for any organisation, public or private."

— Egon de Haas, Global Director, Government & Public Services, PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

"Once again, where most have 'zigged', in EXECUTE First; Plan Second Roy has 'zagged'... and in this ever increasingly competive business environment, my bet is the zaggers will win the day!"

— Jim Francis, Founder - Wavemaker Consulting & Wavemaker Adventure Learning, Vancouver, Canada
