“I have worked with Paula Comfort for over twenty years. As the Founder and CEO of The Sports Clubs of Canada, I first engaged Paula when she joined our organization as a Fitness Director at my Company, The Sports Clubs of Canada, and progressed rapidly, becoming a General Manager, Area Manager and then Area of The Sports Clubs of Canada, overseeing 17 clubs. Paula’s skills are extraordinary and include great attention to detail, full understanding of the development and implementation of operational processes, training and motivating staff to ensure that vision and goals of the organization are met. She does this with minute attention to bottom line priorities and meets, without exception budget and operating goals. Paula is a leader who creates teams that work with enthusiasm and skill. I highly recommend Paula comfort to anyone who requires a new perspective and needs a leader to get the troops fired up!” –
