November 17, 2015 Dear Tim: Just wanted to send you a note to thank you for working with our Executive Team over the past year and a half. I am pleased we engaged you as our facilitator for our leadership retreats. Our experiences together in Collingwood were excellent. It provided us with the opportunity to explore the challenges and leadership team dynamics we would face as we pursued our growth strategy. We managed to participate in many different activities and strategic planning processes during those two days. Both the hike and the sailing excursions provided ample opportunity to get to know our team members interpersonally on an informal basis. While the structured activities such as the envisioning the ideal future and the challenges we face in our own roles exercises created a safe mechanism for team members to be both open and motivated about what is both exciting and concerning for us in executing our challenging growth plans. I appreciated your balanced approach and was pleased we leveraged your ThinkTank platform at this first retreat and for the subsequent session we had with you. The most memorable moments during our Niagara-on-the-Lake Retreat the following year, were the change leadership models and decision-making tools you shared with us to support our efforts in moving forward with a new organizational structure. I personally gained invaluable insights into finding the balance between autonomy for speed of implementation and when to engage the full team in a collaborative process. During the most recent session at Kingbridge, the leadership team was able to identify obstacles to overcome as we begin our shift to a different organizational structure. I found your experienced learning approach highlighted some important messages that we must keep in mind as leaders throughout our organizational transition. Kingbridge is a great facility, and the environment provided an ideal framework during our planning processes. I look forward to engaging you again for future sessions as our facilitator. Sincerely, John Ferguson President & CEO, SCI Logistics
