Testimonials

  • Increased workload at the shop, initiated the realization that the position of a purchasing agent was required as soon as possible. After numerous interviews with one prospective individual and through achievements seen in present employees attending Breakthroughs, we took the opportunity to have this prospective individual sit a career assessment. The results obtained were beneficial in offering this individual the position as results showed that this person should excel in this area based upon our job description outline. I can confirm that both assessment results and the individual’s capabilities matched perfectly and I would not hesitate to use this as a prerequisite prior to a final offer of employment to future prospective employees.
  • We currently have 4 employees attending Breakthroughs and the changes I have seen not only in their attitudes, but also decision making, focus, new ideas, and visions not only for our company but in their personal lives as well seems to me, nothing short of remarkable. The areas these individuals struggled in now seem like a thing of the past. In fact I saw such dramatic changes in them that I felt it could somehow help me as well. I am happy to say that I also am now attending Breakthroughs so I can keep pace with the employees who have attended and the employees still attending. Thanks Breakthroughs.
  • I am 28 years old. I work in the fabrication industry. My company enrolled me in the Breakthroughs program in early September 2006. Some of my responsibilities are to read blue prints and figure out how to build and fabricate the products for the customer and company the best and fastest way possible. Also, part of my job is to work with tools such as squares, grinders, measuring tapes and calculators. In doing this I have tolerances that I must keep according to blue print specifications. So as you can see I have a lot of thinking to do at my job. I would just like to say that the Breakthroughs program has made a very big difference in my life. It has also made a difference in how I interact with people. I can interact with my friends and co-workers much better than I could before. I can solve issues at work that used to be problems and can do them much easier and faster than before. Mathematical problems were extremely difficult and still are at times, but since the program I am doing much better. Thank you Breakthroughs Staff.
  • I make decisions easier which reduces my overall stress level at work and life.
  • My staff have commented that I’m more relaxed and less stressed out.
  • As a manager, I can address conflicts easier and earlier which has reduced my overall stress and affected the atmosphere at work in a positive way.
  • I was given a new position. I know I would have lost my job without Breakthroughs intervention.
  • I’ve used Breakthroughs to assess a possible new employee. The report was detailed and really helped me to know his strengths and weaker areas. Breakthroughs recommended I hire him. He has worked out well for our company.
  • I was unhappy in my work as an administrative assistant for a large organization. They set up an appointment for me at Breakthroughs. My assessment suggested that I look into a University degree in an area I had never considered. When I graduated from university, I was recognized with a monetary award. I thoroughly enjoy working in this field.
  • I am a 35 year old GM and VP of a long established and growing welding and fabrication company. I am also a husband and father. Since coming to Breakthroughs 8 months ago, I have noticed a large increase in my memory and organizational skills. Along with my increased ability to multi-task I have been able to increase my output on a daily basis and while doing that have noticed a decrease in stress which has made my job more enjoyable and has no doubt led to an increase in mental and physical energy away from work for every day life as well.
  • Our company currently has 2 employees enrolled and I have noticed similar improvements in them as well, which has led to an overall stronger company.
    I would recommend Breakthroughs to anyone looking to improve themselves in career or everyday endeavours.
  • When I was teaching, people knew I was avoiding extra curricular activities. I was struggling to cope in the classroom and considering anything else, was overwhelming. Taking on any responsibility overwhelmed me. Today I get excited when I’m offered leadership opportunities and I have the judgment skills to sort whether it’s right for me at this time in my life. Thank you Breakthroughs!
