I have Prosci Certification in Change Management and I recognize The HUMAN ELEMENT as a natural extension of the change management process because it can reinforce the initial changes identified in the Change Management Process. I am looking forward to working with you, Judith.

I won’t forget all you and your previous team did for me, when I needed the help.

Many thanks for giving me this opportunity and assessing my assignments. It has been a pleasure being associated to you and having evolved intellectually, listening to your lectures and discussions.
Hope to keep in touch.

Very passionate re this subject; involved all her students, optimistic, lots of passion, used lots of methods to make it go fast and stay interesting, very empathetic teacher, went out of her way, meaningful examples, confident in her knowledge, kind, personable, very approachable.

As an Executive Board member of a large entertainment sector Union, it is my job to use Conflict Resolution skills in order to assist the over 5000 members of our Organization. In the past number of years, I have taken several courses and seminars to help me with this endeavour. I just completed a 3 day HUMAN ELEMENT course with Judith McLean as the facilitator. This course was a fulfilling and intriguing change from the courses and seminars I have attended in the past. Everyone was engaged throughout the three days due, in very large part, to Judith who was able to bring the material to an alive and personally relevant level. Judith was able to keep the class on an even ‘keel’ throughout and still let us tell our ‘stories’. The material is as relevant now as it was when it was first used … and any organization or group would benefit from people having this course as a mainstay in their ‘tool box’ of employee aids and using Judith as the provider would enhance that organization a great deal.

Judith is very enthusiastic instructor and helpful. Always encourages the class and gave us good feedback.

To someone who has opened many doors of growth for this spirit

Your way of teaching is an original

Your sharing of your knowledge is so freely given to those you care for

The laughter we shared will always make me smile

All in all you have given me the capability to believe in me

That I can fly as high as I choose.  Your friend always.  DS, Aug 1992 Student in Transitions Nooaitch Band, BC

I am pleased to recommend Ms. Judith McLean to any agency looking for a highly skilled social worker. I found her knowledge of training & coaching to be excellent especially in terms of settlement, clients marketing and finding work for them. She came to class well prepared to teach, executed her lesson effectively and efficiently. while she worked to understand each student’s need, she also worked to adjust her teaching to meet those needs.

Really enjoyed the class. Judith’s in-depth knowledge of adult education keeps everyone engaged. She stimulated my personal growth.

Thank you for your professionalism. Coming up with our own Vision Statement was paramount. I felt very comfortable and safe.

I like the “humanized” approach. Emphasis on personal responsibility of each student.

I had a good time in this course [Business Ethics] and  have learned a lot from you.  You are a very knowledgeable  teacher and hope this course is kept continuing in order to  be benefited by others.

Judith worked at Douglas College as a programmer for Continuing Education Social Services Programs. … She demonstrated both management and communication skills on a day to day basis. Her ability to assess and analyze and then to innovate has enabled her to make a significant contribution to Douglas College. While making changes she has been effective in balancing anticipated gains against possible risks. I have no hesitation in recommending Judith McLean most highly…

Thank you for having empowered me to be more patient and understanding toward other people’s behaviour.

Judith is very enthusiastic and energetic. I appreciate that.

Judith is really a wonderful teacher and brought a fun atmosphere while we were learning. I enjoyed her very much and look forward to another class with her.

Judith was an incredible teacher. Her passion and joy for teaching was contagious. She was so supportive and helpful with our class. If I was to go back to school or do more workshops, I would hope to have her as an instructor and mentor again, or have someone just as enthusiastic about helping others.Thank you for everything Judith!

Judith uses realistic examples about the workplace environments and even interviews much gave me an idea of what is expected from me, how to face situations assertively and how to manage my self-growth.

Very interactive, great learning process, fantastic resources, awesome presenter, Judith is an expert.

‘I am really enjoying this course so far and I had learned lots of new things.’ ‘Judith was personable and relatable. I enjoyed her classes.

I found Judith to be extremely warm welcoming, open, supportive, relatable, funny and focused. I can see she genuinely cares for her students and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure we all succeed/have all we need for success.

Judith is a natural at creating a warm, safe training atmosphere, making people very comfortable in sharing their point of view and interacting with others. I highly recommend this course – you will learn important life skills.

It was a real pleasure to have you as a teacher. Your expertise and enthusiasm inspire me to want to learn more and read on.

I really enjoyed your class. There have been some courses that we took before your class that I felt had no substance. I really feel I learned how to prepare a lesson plan. Thanks. I appreciated the depth in which you presented the content and your thoroughness when presenting a new idea. You come across as a sincere and genuine person who is very approachable. It brings you further into your learner’s world.

Once again, your class was fabulous! I feel inspired and confident that I have made the right decision in going into this field. It feels great to have a goal and be excited about the future!

I am so grateful that I took this program because I have learned so much that I thought my knowledge is enough.

I really appreciated the course. The way you presented it, was comforting. The way each module flowed towards the next, calmed my ego, and allowed me to accept more of myself. I came away feeling a lot stronger within myself and now have the tools, to assist me in dealing with whatever life presents to me.

Once finished, just doing the final reading [of my Personal Code of Ethics], I realized I had written something very simple, but I decided not to change neither one letter, because maybe that reflects the way I prefer be, simple. But also, to be honest I have to confess that this is hard to accomplish. Finally, I liked this exercise, more than any assignment  it was a real personal learning. 

I have come to know and admire Judith McLean through the Transitions program she taught on our reserve. The program was designed to teach native students assertiveness and confidence. I found Judith to be a very inspiring teacher who brought the most quiet person out of their shell. She definitely helped my members find more confidence in themselves. Judith did not just play to role of teacher, she also did a lot of counselling outside of school hours that related to sexual abuse and family violence. She was very well liked by my community. … I admired Judith for finding the time and patience to understand Native culture and in her own unique way, she helped my community appreciate the two worlds. I would recommend Judith.

Love this course- very useful-just wishing it was longer.

What I learned from Judith, my energetic teacher, was to have hope for a good job, with fair wages in a tight economy. She provided so many current and relevant resources that will serve me well and I can share with others. Judith taught us about our strengths and weaknesses,how to collaborate and work together and to negotiate the Hidden Job Market….She is so committed to every student’s success, economically and inter-personally.

Clear expectations on what needed from students right in the beginning.’ ‘Clear instructions, to the point very helpful.

Instructor is treating her job not like a profession but her passion. We learned so much from this course.

I truly appreciate Judith’s way of communicating, very engaging and informed.

Judith was the best instructor in VCC’s Leadership program. Her in-depth knowledge of adult education keeps everyone engaged. She created ownership in personal development and stimulated my personal growth. Really enjoyed the class.
