Here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience with Hone
Great to work with. Everything is straightforward, and expectations from both sides are crystal clear.
I’ve been working with Randy since 2019. First at my previous workplace and now at my current company for the past two to three years. When we started up our department and needed external facilitation support, Randy was the first person I recommended based on my positive past experience with him.
What sets Randy apart is how he makes our content his own. He delivers it as if he designed it himself, preparing thoroughly by asking detailed questions about our company, culture, and audience. He’s an extremely experienced facilitator who adapts seamlessly when we need adjustments for specific audiences.
His professionalism really stands out. He’s very clear about contracts and what’s included, with transparent communication that ensures no surprises. Everything is straightforward, and expectations from both sides are crystal clear. He’s also accommodating with scheduling changes, which makes him great to work with.
Randy consistently delivers excellent results. In our feedback surveys, he always scores above eight out of ten and I cannot remember ever receiving a negative comment about him. Our programs are global with participants from India, APAC countries, Europe, and Latin America. He connects very well with people from different cultures. He also handles questions professionally and knows when to direct participants to us for deeper technical responses.
Randy is kind, responsive, and professional in all his communications. Having worked with him across two different companies over several years, the experience has been consistently excellent. The continuity of our collaboration shows that everybody from our company is happy with his work.

Develops the curriculum, facilitates the sessions, and provides regular updates to our leadership team. What I love about this program is that participants continue to support each other long after the program ends.
I have had the pleasure of working with Randy in multiple ways. He has facilitated leadership retreats for my team of directors who oversee approximately 200 staff across campus security, health and safety, insurance, environmental protection, privacy and information security, and emergency management. A challenge with these operational risk groups is that they can be siloed because traditionally their work may not overlap. Randy has been terrific at helping us identify opportunities where there are potential connection points to allow us to work more effectively as a leadership team.
Safety and Risk Services is committed to leadership development and Randy has been instrumental in the evolution of our program. We identify high-potential leaders from the team and give them the opportunity to participate in a nine-month program with monthly sessions. Randy develops the curriculum, facilitates the sessions, and provides regular updates to our leadership team. What I love about this program is that participants form triad groups that continue to support each other long after the program ends. When they are looking for leadership support, they can pick up the phone and call their triad colleagues, even if they sit in different units. That relationship building is invaluable.
He is a true collaborator. He’s not stuck in delivering materials a certain way or in a certain order. He asks, “What’s going to bring the most value to your team?” and brainstorms with you about how to build the leadership retreats or the development program. Then he takes it away and does the hard work. That collaborative approach is probably why I get so much value out of his coaching and retreats.
I also have Randy on speed dial for when I need coaching on difficult situations. I’ve been privileged to have had several leadership coaches over the years, and Randy stands out as someone whose values align with my values and whose leadership style aligns with mine. Beyond his professional skills, he is grounded, respectful and has a good sense of humour. He’s a good listener who can get to the core of an issue and help you think about ways to navigate it. I feel privileged to work with him.
~ Rae Ann Aldridge, Executive Director, Safety & Risk Services, The University of British Columbia
Training is practical, engaging, and leaves participants with skills they can actually apply.
I first met Randy when I attended one of his respectful workplace sessions and was immediately impressed by the quality of the training. Since then, he has been our go-to for Respectful Workplace training. As an HR professional and having attended many similar programs, I can confidently say Randy’s stands out.
Randy is organized, thorough, and takes the time to understand client’s needs and tailor his approach. His training is practical, engaging, and leaves participants with skills they can actually apply.
His materials are excellent—I still keep some in my office for reference. Randy consistently earns positive feedback, whether working with frontline staff or senior leaders.
He is professional, reliable, and makes training (even if mandatory) valuable and enjoyable.
~ Kelli Van Leeuwen, Director, Human Resource Operations, Legislative Assembly of British Columbia

The training Hone did with us stuck and made a real difference. We integrated it into daily operations.
I’ve always believed in investing in people. In my experience, promoting a great operator doesn’t automatically make them a great supervisor. People need training to develop those skills, and when you invest in them, it pays off.
I hired Randy multiple times over several years because we needed someone who could help develop those capabilities.
What drew me to Randy was how he conducted himself – not just knowing the material, but how he ran meetings and engaged people. His facilitation skills really set him apart. He’d allow a little sidetracking for a purpose, then bring it back to business. He could manage people who just like to talk, talk, and talk – bringing them in line without making them feel bad about it. That’s a skill that’s harder than it looks.
Randy dealt beautifully with the natural nervousness that came up when people from multiple tiers of management (including the owners) were all in the room together. He’s just a genuine nice guy, and people really related to him. They opened up and felt comfortable, which is half the battle in training.
The training he did with us stuck and made a real difference. We integrated it into daily operations.
I remember one supervisor having this “ah-ha” moment: “Oh my goodness, I get it now. This guy comes in wanting to chat, and I want to get to business. Now I realize he’s an ‘S,’ so I’ll give him five minutes, then we’ll get to work.”
What really set Randy apart was how invested he was in our success. I’d call him up with challenges and he’d come back with ideas and suggestions or point me toward other resources. When I mentioned a program that would fill a gap in our offerings, he went and added it to his repertoire. That’s the kind of flexibility and commitment to client success that you don’t always find.

Ensures that every engagement is aligned with our goals and delivers with impact.
Randy consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of our organization and what we’re aiming to achieve. He’s taken the time to learn our values, priorities, and desired outcomes—and it shows in every interaction. His facilitation style is confident, thoughtful, and especially effective when navigating sensitive topics. He ensures that every engagement is aligned with our goals and delivers with impact.
We’ve partnered with Randy in a variety of ways—from facilitating our own content, to co-designing custom programs, to delivering his own offerings—and he’s been exceptional across the board. He’s collaborative, responsive, and genuinely committed to continuous improvement, always seeking feedback and refining his approach.
As a facilitator, Randy brings expertise, empathy, and presence. He listens deeply, engages meaningfully, and creates space for real dialogue—whether in-person or virtual. He’s a trusted partner and a true professional.

We didn’t want just another surface-level, feel-good team-building session. We needed a professional, neutral space to work through both the positives and the challenges
After five years of working together, our team reached a point where improving communication was important. Although we were united by a common goal, we needed help working more efficiently across different communication styles.
We chose Hone Consulting because we didn’t want just another surface-level, feel-good team-building session. We needed a professional, neutral space to work through both the positives and the challenges—and that’s exactly what Hone provides.
As a result, each team member gained deeper personal awareness and greater compassion for one another’s natural styles. We learned to step outside our own lenses and create a shared perspective that truly supports collaboration.
On a personal level, the experience served as an important reminder that rigidly clinging to one’s own personality style isn’t always helpful — adaptability matters more than we often realize.
If you’re considering Hone Consulting, my advice is simple: You have to go and do it! The opportunity for team and personal growth is invaluable. This is the new way forward: doing the work to better understand each other and work together more effectively.
What set this experience apart was its purposeful depth, focused direction, and the safe, neutral environment that allowed everyone to show up authentically and have real conversations.
~ Cory Judge, Owner/Designer, Shi Studio
Participants walked away with a renewed sense of purpose, a clearer understanding of effective collaboration, and actionable tools for improving team culture.
Randy at Hone Consulting recently delivered a workshop for our staff at Pearson College UWC, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the session was thoughtfully designed, deeply relevant, and genuinely transformative.
Randy created an environment where our team felt both supported and challenged—an ideal balance for meaningful professional growth. The content was practical, insightful, and immediately applicable, offering useful strategies for initiating workplace change that resonated with staff across departments.
What stood out most was how the workshop didn’t just inform—it inspired. Participants walked away with a renewed sense of purpose, a clearer understanding of effective collaboration, and actionable tools for improving team culture. The ripple effects were felt almost immediately in our day‑to‑day interactions.
We’re grateful for the expertise, care, and energy Hone Consulting brought to our campus. Their workshop has set the stage for lasting positive change within our organization, and we look forward to future opportunities to work with them.
