Aspiria Helps Its 10,000th Client!
It is with great personal pride and gratitude that I share with you that on Thursday, August 4th, 2011, Aspiria helped its 10,000th client through our Employee Assistance Program. It is very gratifying for me to know that we have touched and transformed so many lives since the company was established in 2004. This could not have been accomplished without the incredible team at Aspiria, many of whom have been with the company since its inception. As one of our Directors recently commented, “these are people with heart working for the betterment of others”. As well, I wish to thank our clients for the trust and confidence they have in Aspiria that enables them to share their personal and organizational lives. It is a priviledge that none of us at Aspiria take for granted.
Yours Truly,

Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Relief
Last Friday, the world witnessed a shocking and devastating event unfold in Japan. With a 9.0 magnitude earthquake taking place not far off the north east shores of Japan, an unprecedented tsunami following only 30 minutes later, hundreds of aftershocks, and now the real threat of nuclear disaster looming, it is time for all of us to do what we can to help our brothers and sisters in this time of need.
During the tsunami of 2004, I was living in Thailand at the time and I experienced firsthand the utter devastation an event like this can unleash. In addition to the terrible loss of life, there are the struggles that remain for the survivors and the nation as a whole. Newly made orphans will need food and clothes, communities will need to be rebuilt, and the collective consciousness of a nation will need to be mended. All of this will require money.
Aspiria has made a donation to the Canadian Red Cross to help support our friends in Japan. We can all help in our own way. If you would like to make a donation, simply go to http://www.redcross.ca and look for Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami Fund.
It is when incidents such as these take place that I am reminded how lucky we all are to live where we do. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan in the days, weeks, and months ahead as they face the challenges that await them.

Aspiria Sponsors Upcoming EAPAT Seminar
Aspiria is proud to sponsor to the Employee Assistance Program Association of Toronto’s upcoming seminar called “Leadership Magic – An Exploration of Influence, Connection, & Empowerment”.
Special Guest Dam Trommater isn’t your ordinary miracle worker. During this informative and most entertaining session, Dan will show you how leaders can enhance relationships and lead more effectively by applying the philosophy and tactics of professional magicians.
A good leader must be able to influence a team toward a common goal. Without the support and buy-in of the team, even the best-laid plans are destined for failure.
Magicians are masters of influence. Using physical tenchiques and psychological principles, exper magicians can create an atmosphere where anything is possible. The expert leader can put these same techniques and mindsets to work in order to empower a team and influence them for a common good.
This session will help you:
- get different perspectives on the people and issues in your organization
- approach problems from new angles
- question and challenge your assumptions
- build better relationships
- redefine what’s possible
- examine the power dynamics within your organization
Audience members will get an insider’s view into the thinking behind world-class magic and see how magicians work with the audience to create an experience of wonder. They will then apply the tactics and philosophy to their own leadership challenges in order to create better connections in order to influence and empower their teams.
Dan Trommater has over 12 years experience working with organizations that want a unique approach to leadership and change. His uniqueness comes from his use of magic to reinforce and illustrate key ideas and concepts critical to leaders (no matter where they are in the organization). Audiences are engaged and entertained by the magic, but it’s the powerful ideas that Dan communicates that they’ll remember (and put to use) long after the session has ended.
This session qualifies for 1 CE credit. Certificate of Attendance available at the registration table upon request.

Aspiria Participates in OPCA Golf Tournament to help Tourette Foundation
On Sunday, August 29th, Aspiria participated in the Ontario Police Curling Association’s annual charity golf tournament. This tournament is special to Aspiria, since the OPCA is a proud supporter of the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada. As you may know, Aspiria is also a supporter of the Tourette Foundation (You can click on the link to their website on our homepage to find out more). I have been a member of the Board of Directors for the Tourette Syndrome Foundation for the past 5 years, and it is wonderful to have the opportunity to give back to our community. The golf tournament was a huge success with over 100 golfers sweating it out in tropical conditions! All proceeds raised from the various activities are donated to the Foundation.

June 16, 2010 – Aspiria Sponsors Annual Tourette Syndrome Golf Tournament
As a way of giving back to our community, Aspiria is involved in supporting charitable foundations such as the Tourette Syndrome Golf Tournament. We have participated as a sponsor, event coordinator, and volunteer of this tournament for the past 5 years raising funds for children and adults afflicted with Tourette Syndrome. The stigma attached to Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Learning Disabilities can be devastating for a child who is trying to integrate at home and school. Through the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada, Aspiria helps with education, awareness and, the promotion of research. Enjoy the short video which provides highlights of this year’s Tourette Golf Tournament.
