Testimonials

“WBE Canada aide un cabinet d’avocats de taille modeste, tel que Walker Law, à rencontrer d’importants fournisseurs qui, autrement, ne le sauraient pas ou ne se rendraient pas compte de leurs capacités. Ils recommandent que les entreprises appartenant à des femmes soient certifiées afin de pouvoir se connecter avec des entreprises qui recherchent des fournisseurs diversifiés auxquels elles n’auraient autrement pas accès. Ce type de partenariat, de communauté et de possibilités d… Read more
Walker Law
We had a fantastic year. Joining WBE Canada was the best thing I did for my Company outside of hiring great people. I look forward to many years growing my business with WBE Canada’s support and help!
WBE Certification
“Le principal avantage a été d’être exposé à des penseurs stratégiques de haut niveau qui ont apporté des enseignements clés qu’ils ont volontiers partagé avec nous. Cela m’a permis de penser plus largement et de me concentrer sur des activités plus rentables, en laissant de côté tout ce qui ne contribuait pas à la rentabilité.”
Michele BaileyPrésidente & CEOBlazing The Agency
“WBE Canada helps a boutique-sized law firm, like Walker Law, get in the room with other larger suppliers that otherwise might not know about them or might not realize what their capabilities are. They recommend that women-owned businesses be certified to get the chance to connect with corporations who are looking for diverse suppliers they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. That kind of partnership, community and mentorship opportunities are a huge benefit WBE offers as well.”

“Faire partie de ces programmes de mentorat m’a aidé à augmenter mes revenus de 500%. Ma croissance a été stagnante et, après avoir demandé l’aide de mon mentor, j’ai complètement modifié ma façon de travailler. Au lieu d’être une marchandise, j’ai appris à vendre de la valeur. “
Shantal Feltham Présidente & CEOStiris Research

Haydon is the President of Pivotal Coaching, a WBE Canada certified company. “Being part of the community and the access to large corporate buyers has been fantastic,” Lisa said. “They’ve been accessible, open, and given great perspective that might have taken me several months to figure out.
