I have first handily seen the team reference materials, or “Remember Kerry said this...”.
Conflict is definitely not easy but being kind and curious are. Thank you for reinforcing this. I look forward to working with you and to continue this pathway for our team.
Comprehensive, experiential, with extensive knowledge. This reference letter is regarding Mr. Kerry Palmer’s experience and training with Gingolx Village Government. Over several years I had contracted with Mr. Palmer to provide a wide range of training courses for employees; from interpersonal skills, lateral violence, dealing with difficult people, conflict resolution to respectful workplace training and policy development. His course delivery was clear, comprehensive, experiential, with extensive knowledge and supportive stories. The evaluations showed that the employees learned new skills and knowledge in the various topic areas and were challenged to expand their personal awareness and professional development, despite their fears and apprehension to assert themselves.
In closing, I recommend Mr. Palmer to provide any training, mediation or coaching. His knowledge of First Nations history and current day complexities in the workplace is invaluable.
Kerry Palmer has been instructing our respectful workplace course for the past 9 years. In the three years I have been in the training department for British Columbia Rapid Transit I have found working with Kerry a very pleasant experience. Kerry is professional, on time (early) and effective.
Kerry conducts the respectful learning to our employees both in exempt positions and bargaining unit positions. He uses situational examples to initiate group conversation and activity. I have seen the feedback forms from the employee’s taking this course, always positive responses.
