WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY..."

"Mr. Olton used material from Dr. Covey, Ken Blanchard, Spencer Johnson, M.D, and so much more. The concepts of all of the above were taught in one workshop. The combination of these concepts created an experience that would not have been gain by receiving them individually. There was much class participation, hands on activities and discussion. My overall experience was such a positive one that I highly recommended it to any leader or potential leader in this company." Carol- Ross DaSilva, Supervisor, BELCO, Bermuda

"...Having sat in a few of your sessions, I was personally impressed with the quality of the material presented, your delivery style, and the manner in which you communicated with the group. I still consider you one of the better trainers in the Caribbean today..." Keith E. King, - General Manager/CEO, British American Insurance Company

"You have a clear understanding of how to combine the redemptive gospel with professional growth and development. I shall always be grateful for your contribution to my quest to be a better husband and leader."

Andrew Charles, Publishing Director, The Caribbean Conference of SDA

I have attended many workshops and training sessions on leadership and none has been able to grasp my attention like this one did. I have always endorsed your workshop as the genesis of my rise from long time constable and sergeant (18 years) quickly up to Deputy Commissioner (9 years) I made a lot of moves in those 9 years and it was because of the foundation you provided.

So thanks again Toney. I always remember the honesty you brought to the training and being able to speak from the "I perspective" which added tremendous credibility to your teaching. - Mike Jackman, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bermuda Police Service
