What Our Clients Are Saying
"I recommend Chris Lewis be brought in to speak to any organization that is looking to improve the leadership capability of their personnel."
As part of our ongoing efforts to increase awareness of different leadership principles in our members, I invited former OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis to speak to our Senior Leadership Team, both sworn and civilian. His observations on leadership in the policing community were insightful and very well received by our members. His presentation, drawing upon anecdotal examples from both his personal and professional life, effectively drove home the importance of positive leadership techniques to all members of our Service. I recommend Chris Lewis be brought in to speak to any organization that is looking to improve the leadership capability of their personnel.

"I was touched by his dedication and saw this as a true testament to his calling to inspire those in our line of work, the importance of being a good leader."
“I was touched by his dedication and saw this as a true testament to his calling to inspire those in our line of work, the importance of being a good leader. His presentation was exactly what I was seeking as only one can truly present this critical topic effectively, when they have walked the walk. It was authentic, real and he spoke from the heart. He was able to captivate the group on of not only law enforcement officers but everyone from the agents, investigators, and the administrative support staff as well. He brought everyone together from different backgrounds to one common ground, the art of effective leadership. He is charming, funny and most importantly authentic. His experiences were real, his stories were so enjoyable, and we all left there with a new spring in our step and a good feeling inside.
I thanked Chris for not only speaking from the heart and bringing his message forward about leadership being about people, about building trusting relationships, about communication and simply doing the right thing. His message resonated as everyone waited to shake his hand and say, “Thank You” and how much valued the message he provided. I received many compliments and words thanks for his presentation and many thanked me personally for bringing him all the way to Melbourne Beach Florida. The best endorsement I can give is the comment I received from my administrative assistant, when she said to me, “I appreciated how special he also made “us” feel and that he was able to connect with us as well as no one ever includes us in leadership discussions”. I am proud to call Chris Lewis a friend to not only me personally but to the Department of Justice and the Bureau of ATF.”

"Your comments regarding leadership, adaptability and information sharing were well received and helped form the groundwork for further exploration into how Intelligence fits into the new world of Policing."
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your time and experience at the Operating Body “Fall Conference” meeting of CISO. As a member of the distinguished panel providing insights into the theme, “Intelligence: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” you input was eye opening and thought provoking, sprinkled with just the right amount of humour. The delegates, who numbered well over 200 from every Police Agency in Ontario and included partners from the US, were very appreciative to have someone with so much experience there to share their knowledge. Your comments regarding leadership, adaptability and information sharing were well received and helped form the groundwork for further exploration into how Intelligence fits into the new world of Policing.
