What people say about Watershed Training Solutions and Wendy
Woods
Laughter is the best Medicine
Your recent visit to the Barrie & District Scotiabanker’s evening was most uplifting! The fact that everyone in the room participated and had a lot of laughs was a terrific stress reliever! Staff commented on how interesting your presentation was. We hold five minute morning huddles each day and the one following the presentation was filled with laughter and excitement.
President Barrie & District Scotiabanker’s Association
I liked the fact that the technique of laughter is linked to scientific and researched information. Wendy is very professional and the session was well done.
Senior Advisor, Training Bombardier Aerospace
Wendy's upbeat and friendly style allows the participants to feel professionally comfortable before doing some things that would not be "normal" in a traditional office setting... but once she lets her concepts loose, watch out! Laughter is the name of the game! An inspiring hour of energy.

Laughter Yoga
Laughter yoga is a bold and novel technique to bring a team together in a professional way. Our team is still laughing and high fiving! Wendy is a true professional and we would recommend her sessions to anyone seeking ways to bring fun and laughter into the workplace.
Pipeline Analyst – Innovation Canadian Tire Corporation
Our laughter yoga session was a wonderfully exhilarating, stress releasing, and team building hour. With Wendy’s relaxed and engaging style, everyone quickly got over their initial skepticism and threw themselves into incredible fits of laughter and joy. For days after, participants were still smiling as they thought about our hour of laughter.

Wendy Woods presented a laughter yoga session at one of our National Retail Sales meetings. It was a tough group because we are in the midst of being bought by another company. We didn’t know if we would have jobs or not. Wendy was aware of this and the individual stress levels of the group. She did a great job getting people to release some stress and relax!! The group left the room feeling energized.
The feedback on your “Laughing all the way to the bank” presentation has been just great…you showed us that humour is not just about being funny; it is about how you see things, your attitude, your ability to find humour in our everyday lives.
District Vice-President, Toronto Region Scotiabank
Humour in the Workplace
Wendy's Humour in the Workplace is a great workshop. It's highly participatory and interactive. It leaves staff members with a sense of belonging and increases team morale. I would recommend this training workshop to any organization seeking fun back in the workplace.
Training & Development Coordinator North York GeneralHospital
We have received nothing but positive feedback from the participants. Our staff felt that the session was great fun, but also productive and motivating. People felt it was good to work with their fellow employees in a different way. Certainly there was a perception that this workshop helped to relieve stress and make the day flow easier.
Director, Organizational & Employee Development University Health Network
My staff and I recently participated in the Humour in the Workplace session led by Wendy Woods. From the moment we walked in the room we could tell this was not going to be just another training session. Wendy's engaging facilitation style, creative exercises, practical advice and fun props combine to deliver a message that reminds us to take ourselves and our situations less seriously and how humour can be used constructively in a work environment.

You're an engaging speaker and presenter and I have received great feedback. You'll be a tough act to follow - you already are.
Executive Director Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade
I just had to send you a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed the Networking Naturally workshop that you facilitated at the York Region Administration centre yesterday. It was wonderful! I left there feeling really upbeat and positive about the possibilities for myself and my business.
Owner Apex Administration
It was a mind-opening, thought-provoking session - participants did not realize what they could have achieved through networking and how many opportunities they might have seized....Feedback from the participants was very positive. They indicated...that the knowledge learned...was helpful and relevant and that they would attend your next session at CPAC.
Member Services Coordinator Chinese Professionals Association of Canada
You rank amongst the top group of [our] presenters. Some of the comments that we have received; "created a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, just ideal", "very good, she keeps the audience's attention", "well prepared"' "I like the instructor". The seminars are a very popular service that Enterprise Toronto offers, and speakers like you make that possible, many thanks.

Stress Management
I attended your seminar at the Annual IBAO convention and it was the best one yet! The information was useful and very helpful. You are a great speaker, and you presented the information in a way that kept our attention. You also involved the group in your presentation, which I feel was a better learning tool than just watching and listening.

(Strategies for Managing Workplace Stress and Boosting Productivity)
These workshops helped me identify some of the negative patterns I had developed in my work life and provided me with practical tools that could be used right away. I would highly recommend the Stress Management Series to anyone interested in finding ways to reduce stress.
Participant University of Toronto
Effective Communications Skills
The group came back with a very positive attitude and ideas as to how they can improve communication between themselves and also other clients. The feedback I received...was excellent. It is my understanding that you facilitated the session so well that they all felt comfortable and at ease very early in the morning.
