CASE STUDY
SYLVIO(SYD) A. GRAVEL, M.O.M

THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM
When Staff Sergeant Syd Gravel retired from the Ottawa Police, his first inclination for a second career was to rely on his experience in workplace diversity. And although he realized that he was a subject matter expert on workplace diversity – he had no passion. Without this passion, everything that he had built his hopes and dreams on as speaker crumbled before him.
THE SOLUTION
THE PROBLEM
Syd enrolled in the Speaker Coaching Program that JJ delivered on behalf of the Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS). Syd credits JJ’s ability to decoding his human capital and for helping him find his real passion. The Speaker Coaching Program catapulted Syd into a successful businessman as a writer, speaker and trainer.
THE VALUE
THE PROBLEM
Syd now devotes his time and energy on the development of resilience and resistance to trauma within the emergency and enforcement environments. His first book, “56 Seconds”, 2012, tells the gripping real life story of how his life took a dramatic turn in just 56 seconds; which also became Syd’s first best seller. Since then he has gone on to write “How to Survive PTSD and Build Peer Support”, 2013, (which is required reading at Hamilton’s Mohawk College third year Health and Wellness Program.) “Workplace Diversity – How to Get It Right!”, 2014, and his latest book due out in 2016, “Walk the Talk – A Peer and Trauma Support Systems Guide”.
THE CONCLUSION
THE PROBLEM
For Syd, finding this meaningful work meant turning his mess into a message. JJ’s human capital strategies helped him get his business off the ground, not only in terms of finding his passion but by also providing the marketing, sales and presentation skills support. Today Syd’s clients include numerous police services such as the Ontario Provincial Police, York Regional Police and Peel Regional Police. He also serves as the national lead for the Peer and Trauma Support Services Team for the Mood Disorders Society of Canada and is on the Board of Directors for Badge of Life Canada. Syd has made numerous television appearances such as CBC’s The National, TVO’s The Agenda, and on CBC’s Radio shows Ottawa Morning and Ontario Today.
