Testimonials

Terrapure
Participating in a Vitality at Work virtual program and live workshop was truly eye opening. The content makes you think and provides the opportunity to make simple shifts in your life that can have such an impact to you and those around you. It sounds extreme to say that I see life differently after being introduced to the Positive Psychology concepts, but it's the truth. I encourage you to learn more and to take advantage of Meghan’s knowledge, enthusiasm and contagious optimism.If customers can’t find it, it doesn’t exist. Clearly list and describe the services you offer. Also, be sure to showcase a premium service.
Marie Zimmerman Executive Director Hillside Festival
I joined the session because I often feel stretched thin and I wanted to find ways to remain full of life when I feel full of stress. It was beyond my expectations. We looked at research. We had to apply concepts directly to our lives. We didn't just look at our strengths; we analyzed how they become our inhibitors. We analyzed mindfulness, negativity, thriving relationships, rituals, and even post-traumatic growth. I came out the other side both humbled and empowered. Meghan Kirwin is a thoughtful facilitator who tackled the most thorny issues with diplomacy, warmth and generosity, always keen to help us really learn from our reflections and discussions

We had a good organization, but knew we could make it better. We brought the Kirwin Group into facilitate us through a change process to foster an environment of trust, growth and agility. Our organization quickly developed a trust with the Kirwin Group that opened all sorts of opportunities and really helped our employees live in a world of possibility. We have worked with the Kirwin Group in a number areas during the change process such as performance development, talent management and training and development. The in-house training has been excellent as our employees have developed new skills through practical hands on programs such as Personal Leadership, High Performance Team, Time Management, and Whole Brain. The excellent facilitation mixed with the practical and rich content has made us a better organization and most importantly we have had fun in the process!
