Dear Steve Hopkinson,
On behalf of the central staff of the Toronto District School Board, the members and the Professional Development Steering Committee, please accept our utmost thanks and gratitude for your participation in our Professional Development Day. Without your creativity, dedication, and professionalism in delivering your "What Drives You Crazy Makes Them Great" workshop, the day would not have been the success it has been. We do understand the amount of time and energy required to make create and present these sessions. Your efforts are truly appreciated by all.
Thank you

I was impressed by Steve Hopkinson from the first moment we spoke on the phone. He got me out of a sticky situation with my tenant, and went beyond the call of duty when helping me with the sale of my house. His predictions on pricing, purchaser traffic, and subsequent sale were virtually accurate. He is extremely pleasant to work with, and he respects any decision you make as a customer. He is very quick to return calls. There is no doubt in my mind that I would retain him and refer him to any of my friends and colleagues.
Regards,
Daina S.-Newmarket
Dear Steve:
Thank you so much for your presentation to the 20th anniversary dinner for the Ontario Association For The Application Of Personality Type. Your presentation was dramatic, humorous, and insightful.
We especially appreciate that you met with our board to find out what would help us, assessed our audience and sent several emails back and forth to meet the needs of our group. You also gave us great promotional support for the event. You put a lot of extra work into this.
We strongly recommend your presentations to other organizations. Your energy and passion are infectious.

Dear Steve,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the services you have given us relating to the sale of our home.
You convinced us to sell our home in a time when the economic conditions were not good and adopted an approach that we are not used to – putting our house in the market during the Christmas holidays. Had we not followed your suggestion, we probably would either be holding two mortgages now or selling our home at a price that we would not be very happy.
We liked the fact that you explained to us the reasons behind the numbers. You also explained to us why we should price our home aggressively to be ahead of the curve and not forced to chase a moving target. You kept us informed every time someone goes out to see our home and gave us their feedback. The feedback were really important to us.
Should you need a reference, we would gladly give you one.
Yours truly,
Perry & Mila. A - Newmarket

motivational workshop presented to the Edward Jones home office team. The event was a phenomenal success with more than fifty percent of the Edward Jones headquarters attending the event during their lunch hour.
Steve’s dynamic presence and speaking ability captivated the audience. The entertaining and interactive workshop left everyone with valuable insights into human behavior and effective communication.

"Steve Hopkinson made a very colourful and impressive presentation at the YMCA Small Business Week event. Steve shared his knowledge and expertise as a Certified Personality Dimensions Facilitator to help the audience better understand how people interpret each others behaviour and unique characteristics in a humorous and insightful manner.
The goal of the YMCA is “making the connections” and Steve's delivery included all the aspects necessary to achieve this objective, including why we need to understand each other's personalities so that we could communicate more effectively and grow as individuals..."

"Steve Hopkinson was the featured speaker at the recent Annual General Meeting of the Alliston and District Chamber of Commerce.
While these events must include normal business and financial reports, and can often be quite dry and boring, the meeting certainly took a turn for the better when Steve began to speak.
His topic related to the different personalities that we all encounter in our daily business lives. His speech was extremely entertaining and yet thought-provoking.
Steve is a dynamic and powerful speaker and I would highly recommend him for any business meeting that requires a combination of entertainment and business education."
Michael S. Keith

"I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for sharing with us all the great tips and techniques in becoming a confident speaker. I got a lot of amazing feedback from my fellow Toastmasters.
Personally, I enjoyed your speech very much and it gave me a drive to participate in the International speech contest. I hope you had a good time with us too. "

"I just wanted to thank you again for joining us today. The feedback I've been receiving is phenomenal! This was the largest turn out for a lunch and learn that we have so far. Wow!"

"If you were to ask me to summarize my home purchasing experience with the Mitchell Team I would use two nouns - "Steve Hopkinson." At the mere mention of his name a list of descriptive adjectives rush to my mind - professional, friendly, attentive, caring, patient, intelligent, knowledgeable, honest, easy to talk to.... When one encounters Steve you enter a new realm where nothing else matters to him except listening to your concerns/needs and making sure that you get what you want without the frustrations that come with buying or selling a home. When problems arose I did not have to worry too long about them as Steve quickly took care of them. Purchasing my home was a memorable experience thanks to Steve. He is a valuable asset to the Mitchell Team and I know that as long as he is on this team this agency will flourish in leaps and bounds. I recommend that Steve be commended for his tireless efforts to accommodate his clients wishes and the professional manner in which he conducts himself. My "shopping for a new home experience" with Steve is one what I will never forget and I hope to encounter this experience again should I decide to sell and purchase again. There is only one person I will trust and rely on to buy or sell a home with and that is Steve Hopkinson. Thanks Steve. You are indeed a blessing to others."
