I have worked closely with Wil Brewer and his team at PSG on many initiatives. He has provided outstanding coaching to senior executives and provides coaching and feedback to reviewees on the 360s that PSG regularly conducts. He has facilitated strategic planning and conducted training programs in leadership and management. The product is always better than expected with the highest degree of professionalism. As a chartered accountant, he speaks our language. Our staff, including the leadership, frequently remark about Wil’s easy-going and effective interpersonal style—he can deliver a difficult message in a way that makes the recipient open and receptive, quite a unique talent!
