"When I think of Dennis Martodam I think of the ultimate teacher...someone with real life related experience, passion for his craft, energy to convey his message enthusiastically, one who quickly develops sensitivity to his audience, broad and deep knowledge of the subject matter (leadership, management, etc.), immediate credibility gained through a very sincere and honest approach and he does all of this while paying attention to the learning environment, that is at once fun, non-threatening and one that provides a healthy platform for boosting one’s self esteem."

I have had the pleasure and experience of working with Dennis Martodam and DM Works across a spectrum of industries. And while Dennis's work ethic is exemplary, his knowledge vast and his delivery personal ... it is the lasting impact that his work has which separate him from the rest of the pack. He leads from the heart and educates from the head. In my book, the sign of a genuine leader. Rare and wonderful.

I've known Dennis Martodam for many years, first as a colleague at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and then as a client for his company. Dennis has presented some excellent workshops for our senior managers of our resort and they have all been well received. More importantly, we have been able to retain what we have learned as a team and have put the experience to work in practical terms. Dennis has a genuine delivery of his programs which we found enlightening and energizing. I would highly recommend Dennis Martodam to my colleagues.

"Dennis Martodam is a master trainer and facilitator. He possesses the rare ability to engage a group of senior executives and actually get them to do what he says! It does not matter what the topic is or how dysfunctional the team; Dennis will put a program together to get at the root of any issues and then have you figure out the solutions. Think your team functions pretty well? Then Dennis will design something to improve your productivity or increase your emotional EQ. Whatever your needs, time with Dennis is well spent. You will think and learn and have fun too. No boring lectures here....you are going to do the work and be better off for it."
