A Milestone in Leadership Development Excellence
Toronto-based Shift Facilitation is proud to announce its official designation as an Authorized Blanchard® Partner. With decades of experience in facilitation, training, and leadership development Shift is now equipped to deliver the full suite of Blanchard programs across Canada.
This partnership extends Shift’s capabilities to develop leaders who build trust, drive performance, and make a lasting impact.
Why Blanchard®?
Founded by the legendary Ken Blanchard, the Blanchard® organization has established the gold standard in leadership development for over 40 years. Known for its impactful models and tools, Blanchard’s methods are trusted by global organizations to transform teams and unlock leadership potential.
One of its most renowned frameworks, SLII®, is the world’s most widely used leadership training program. As a certified provider, Shift Facilitation now offers SLII® and other proven programs directly to corporate clients that are looking for dynamic, human-powered learning experiences.
A Natural Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
The strength of Shift’s facilitation expertise, combined with Blanchard’s proven methodologies, creates a powerful synergy.
Moe Poirier, founding partner of Shift Facilitation, describes the partnership this way:
“Partnering with Blanchard has felt like the perfect fit right from the start, because our core values are so closely aligned. The foundation of our work is a shared belief that leading from the heart fosters trust, builds connection, and unlocks human potential.”
Heart-Centered Training: A Shared Philosophy
In a recent episode of the Leadership Unfiltered podcast with Blanchard host Sarah Hempel, Moe spoke passionately about a shared philosophy. Quoting Ken Blanchard’s mantra, “Love is the answer. What is the question?” Moe highlighted the powerful work that an exceptional facilitator delivers in a training session.
“Heart-centered training is our strategic advantage. The Shift team’s expertise in delivering transformative learning experiences is the key that unlocks Blanchard’s work at The Heart of Human Achievement.”
The new Shift partnership with Blanchard not only strengthens program delivery but also reinforces a shared commitment to meaningful, purpose-driven leadership.
