Darryl was able to engage us in a topic that could be very boring. His insights, sense of humor and pace kept the information interesting. All of the information was relevant and Darryl was very knowledgeable on the variety of topics presented. I will recommend this course to my colleagues.

This is the BEST course I have taken throughout my career at the Federal Government. Darryl’s knowledge level was impressive to say the least! If you have not booked him to facilitate all the Planning to Retirement courses in the region, I would strongly recommend that you do. He took the time to answer all relevant questions and kept the course on track. I have recommended it to all my coworkers.

My knowledge on our benefits has increased alot. Prior to, I had minimum knowledge of what I would be eligible for and how to calculate what I may get. Now, I’m comfortable figuring out what I may get and understand the Pension Statement. Although I won’t use it in my day to day work, I have already discussed some of the information with my staff. I wish I would have had this knowledge when I first started working for the government.

Very engaging. Funny and approachable. Great job! Extremely knowledgeable. Did not bring own opinions into learning, but did put forth options and benefits as applicable.

Everyone knows about the Planning for Retirement Course – everyone should have presenters as good as Darryl and Melody. They present the course content in a way that makes it understandable, manageable, and not over-whelming. Their experience was evident and this was exemplified in the real-life examples they used. Best instructors I have ever had – worth every cent!

Very engaging and insightful. Clearly enjoys his profession and emits the excitement and dedication to his work. His desire to ensure everyone felt knowledgeable and confident to make good decisions and choices was evident. His grasp on the material was impressive. Highly recommended for all future Public Service Presentations.

They made a potentially dry subject vibrant. Thanks !

Thank you for this opportunity. Even though this course could be seen as more of a personal benefit, I believe I’m happier in understanding my pension and benefits therefore, the workplace will benefit.

Her background in Compensation was great. She was able to give us information on deadlines and dates to watch for. She was a very knowledgeable “subject matter expert” when it came to how the system works within the federal government. Melody gave real life examples and information that was applicable to everyone’s situation. Too bad she is retiring from the public service.

Darryl knew his material and allowed lots of time for questions during the classroom session, on breaks, and at lunch – if you desired. Great examples for those of us who needed clarification on the terms. Worked really well with Melody. She was co-presenting and was planning to leave the government soon. She has a wealth of knowledge that is of a great value to the public service. Every person should be able to connect and speak with someone like her in their career in the public service. It was great having someone facilitating the course that had direct/personal experience with the subject matter.
