BreakPoint is more than a name. It is an intentional stopping point or place to pause, an opportunity to derive new knowledge, establish commitment to a new direction in one’s career or life…allowing one to evaluate a current path, effort and results, inspect one’s environment, and reset for future success.

I worked with Greg from Breakpoint as part of a provincial project to develop a governance framework for a new physician assessment program in British Columbia. It was a complex project with multiple stakeholders, competing agendas and funding models. That said, I admired Greg's expertise, professionalism, knowledge and (likely above all) patience as he facilitated our work, offered coaching and other 'nudges' to help with breakthrough thinking and a genuine desire for the group to achieve success.
