I worked in what was called "Personnel" back in the day at Royal Trust. Over the years Doug invited me to facilitate a few offsites for he and his team.

My memories of working with Doug are best described in the words of Maya Angelou - "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."  

Memories of working for Doug at Royal Trust from 1988 to 1992 . Doug's personality was his dominant characteristic , as a result some did not always get what an outstanding leader he was. He built an incredible team and empowered us completely. I learned so much from Doug about how strong a team can be with the right leader who stands on the sidelines and cheers. I attributed it to his professional sports background but it was more than that for such a big guy he never let his ego dominate .

I have spoken of his example many times, Doug if you can hear me take a bow you deserve it !!!!
