Re: Employee workshop
Mr Mbani,
On behalf of the employees of the Caisse Desjardins de Masham-Luskville, I am writing to thank you for the wonderful workshop that you treated us to. It was highly motivating and now, a month later, the concept of the surprise effect still comes up in conversation among our group.
We would be very happy to work with you again in the future.
Yours truly,
Martine Rainville
Adjointe à la direction générale

Louis Mbani was the first of six speakers at our October 2009 midterm training session. The drumming action broke down barriers and participants felt more relaxed and communicative from the very beginning of the session. This in itself was quite impressive as our training starts bright and early at 7 a.m. sharp. Louis Mbani’s personality and teaching ability compelled the group to participate wholeheartedly and with an open mind from the very first minute. Between short sessions of drumming, he interjected important concepts. The meaning and the importance of the TEAM was clearly defined.
After being part of Louis Mbani’s workshop, the participants were definitely receptive to the remainder of the presenters. Each workshop leader commented on how Louis had managed to get them all on the same wave length for this semi-annual training.
Louis’ charming, friendly yet effective and far reaching words made this year’s training session one of the highest in energy yet. We will definitely refer Louis Mbani to fellow directors and to anyone who is interested in motivating, building or focusing their team’s energy.

Re: Tam Tam du bien être Workshop
Bonjour Louis,
I am more than satisfied with your workshop. I have to admit that I was quite surprised by your performance and your ability to entertain the participants.
I very much enjoyed your approach and the ease with which you convinced people to express themselves. I knew several of the people there, and I was astonished to see them so content and willing to participate. You could tell just by the look on their faces that they were happy to be there and to leave their work behind temporarily.
I have received several very good comments and people have mentioned that they would like to keep this activity going. Here are some of the comments I took down:
The hand drumming workshop was exceptional. I loved it and hope to sign up for the next one in January. Thanks for a great initiative!
What a great idea! Highly creative and innovative. I felt good during the djembe part of the workshop – it was like being in therapy!
Thanks for inviting us to the wonderful activity. I knew nothing about djembe before the workshop but now I feel that I have discovered something that will become a pastime for life.
Thanks again, Louis, for your good work and solid professionalism.
