The most meaningful workshops do more than inform — they equip people with tools they can use right away. Participants consistently say our sessions provide practical strategies, real-world examples, relevant takeaways, and immediate value they can carry into their work long-term.

 

Our facilitation plays a key role in that experience. Each workshop, described as engaging, clear, caring, knowledgeable, and relatable, is designed to build trust and create space for strategic learning, peer collaboration, and real connection.

Client Testimonials

“Supporting others every day takes heart, energy, and resilience. That’s why we took time to pause, reflect, and care for ourselves too. We just wrapped up a 4-part Self-Care and Resilience Workshop Series for our incredible staff, and what a journey it was! Over the past few weeks, our team explored practical ways to strengthen resilience, manage stress, nurture overall wellness, and support one another, all focused on building a healthier, more balanced mindset at work and beyond. Led by the amazing Samantha Adams and Bonita Eby from Breakthrough Personal & Professional Development Inc., these sessions helped our staff recharge, reflect, and strengthen their ability to thrive in high-demand environments. A huge thank you to the Breakthrough team for creating such a meaningful and engaging experience, and to our staff for showing up with heart and commitment to their own well-being.”

“Our team had the pleasure of welcoming Bonita as our keynote speaker for a retreat that we had organized for our Pediatric Clinic staff and physicians. Our retreat focused around creating a Mission & Vision for our team, as well as building a team charter. Given the extraordinary pressures everyone in healthcare has been under for the last few years, we felt it very important to center our discussions around wellness and setting healthy boundaries. Bonita took the time to research and understand our specific organization’s culture, mission and values and wove this throughout her talk. Feedback from participants was extremely positive; in fact, reference was made throughout the day back to concepts and strategies that Bonita had shared. I would highly recommend Bonita and BreakThrough to any healthcare organization.”

-Amanda Hignell, Department of Pediatrics, St. Michael’s Hospital

Our organization connected with Bonita to provide a customized workshop about vicarious trauma, moral injury, compassion fatigue and burnout.  It was so helpful to understand the difference between each of these factors, how they contribute to our mental health, and how we can work to prevent them.  Bonita did an outstanding job of understanding our organization and our culture, and helped us to make meaningful progress in supporting our leaders.  I would not hesitate to recommend Bonita's services for any organization hoping to support their team in preventing burnout!  It is simply a fantastic investment:).  Thank you Bonita!”
