Even when the economy got better, most of them stayed with us over the years – many of them are exclusive to us; not because we make them exclusive to us, but because they know who we are, and we’ve been with them for years. Relationship building is a high priority for us.”

“Wallbreakers provided the structure and support to help hone my skills and, importantly, to gain confidence I needed to do well in a process that can often feel daunting and overwhelming. I truly can’t recommend the program enough, and strongly encourage you to apply and share with your friends.”
"Online education was a bit different from our core business, but what we realized is that we already had a lot of strengths to be able to launch our offerings.

We saw this as a natural extension of our brand with those strengths."
“We looked at a range of learning management systems (LMS) and decided to go with Thinkific Plus due to its functionality and user-friendly experience.

Plus, we love that Thinkific is a BC company!”

Get it done.”
