“This is the second time that the Trudeau Center has engaged Joe Pinsonneault over the past 6 years to facilitate our strategic planning process—and we couldn’t be happier. Joe understands our agency, our people and most importantly, our mission. He is knowledgeable of best practices in our industry and helps gently steer us in those directions. As a facilitator, Joe is engaging, well organized and keeps the process moving forward. He is adaptable, working around the needs of our agency and our team. Joe is a strong communicator and an effective listener with a focus on building trust and developing relationships. He has also been sensitive to the needs of our organization, as we continue to emerge from the pandemic. Helping us to design a plan that will guide our organization for the next handful of years is tremendously important, but we have complete faith in Joe’s abilities. The Trudeau Center is fortunate to have access to Joe and his talents and we cannot recommend him highly enough to any organization or business seeking a skilled and talented facilitator or as a consultant in other areas where Joe has an expertise.”

“Joe has been working with our center as our Educational Consultant for over 20 years. He is always a pleasure to work with. Joe is knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed to the centers and programs which he provides services to. Joe has been an integral part of our program in assisting with professional development for the staff, providing our First Aid, CPR and AED training, as well as intensive classroom coaching with our teachers. He has helped our program tremendously in implementing strategies for children that may be struggling with social/emotional delays and challenging behaviors - assisting teachers in implementing a smooth, predictable daily classroom routine and structure. Joe is knowledgeable in best practices and child development. The training and information that is provided to staff has proven to be successful when staff implement it correctly and consistently. We have had positive feedback from staff who have worked directly with Joe. We will continue to work with Joe to help provide high-quality education to our children and families. We have recommended Joe to other programs and will continue to recommend his services to programs looking for an Education Consultant, and someone to provide professional development and training as needed.“

"Joe is very dedicated to staff development and education. His dynamic personality spills over into any training session that he is leading or any activity that he is involved in, and all staff respond in a very positive way as a result. I was very fortunate to work with Joe while he developed the training curriculum for our affiliate which is driven by various funding sources and regulatory guidelines, a task which had not been accomplished by several of his predecessors. Joe’s approach was organized, methodical, and logical and as a result, we were successful in meeting our training requirements."
