“FlipU has helped us shift the organizational culture and given us tools and language to deepen our learning in our day-to-day work. Thank you, Samantha and Marc, for your wonderful program!”

 –TRISH BARBATO, President & CEO, Arthritis Society (Canada)

“FliP U’s Leadership/Followership program was just what we needed. We trained all200+ staff. The training helped us build culture, skills and engagement. After the training, our employee net promoter score went from 13 to 41, 71% of employees reported they were applying new leadership skills weekly or daily and 75% reported they were applying new followship skills weekly or daily” 

JULIE NEWMAN, Director of Talent Management & Engagement, Carizon Family and Community Services (Canada)

“From my position as CEO, I believe that we now have a common model and language for leadership that was missing prior to our journey with Flip U. Our organization has benefited tremendously from having staff complete this training and we fully intend to continue to our relationship with Flip U. I am a rusted-on Flip U fan.”

-JEFF SCOBIE, Chief Executive Officer, Macarthur Disability Services (Australia)
