"I had the opportunity to work with Mary Clare while she was teaching Emergency Management in Arnprior & Ottawa. She has an excellent ability to assess each attendee's competency level and ensure she provided appropriate information to each. She was able to encourage each attendee to participate & acquire necessary knowledge so they could competently perform at course end. Mary Clare has an engaging and warm personality that makes her a pleasure to work with. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge that she willingly shares."

"Mary Clare worked as a contract facilitator for Canadian Mental Health Association's Living Life to The Full program for inmates at Okanagan Correctional Centre. Mary Clare fused her warmth of personality and excellent facilitation skills to bring course content alive for participants. She consistently asked for feedback about how to more effectively serve the population. I highly recommend Mary Clare as a facilitator and trainer."

"I first met Mary Clare in 2001 when she was the lead at the Canadian Emergency College in Ottawa and I was a new student. She was and continues to be an excellent instructor and leader in the true sense of the word. Positive, clear directives,and patient while teaching new students. Mary Clare was a female leader in a world that at the time was dominated by male leadership. She embraced her role with grace and confidence and earned the respect of her colleagues and students I am honoured to call her mentor and friend and more than happy to recommend her in any leadership role!"

"I had the pleasure of attending a 9 week virtual course offered by the Canadian Mental Health Association of BC, "Living Life to the Full" which was facilitated by Mary Clare. I appreciated her wealth of knowledge and experience she shared with us. She was organized, professional and had a warm and welcoming manner in delivering the course. Even though the course was offered virtually, she was able to guide us through the material and make us feel comfortable and included. In this way she was able to help us facilitate conversations, sharing and learning in a way that truly impacted me and came at a critical time when we are facing isolation and other challenges because of the pandemic.
Mary Clare is very clear in her communication style and knows how to read the participants' reactions and made us feel seen, heard and valued. I would highly recommend her as a facilitator to anyone who is looking for someone to lead
adult-education sessions or training or for facilitated discussions and workshops."
