I learned a lot in this class that I wish I knew before becoming a manager. Understanding workstyles, communicating, coaching, flexing, etc, will definitely help me become a better leader.

This class was a great mixture of good content, high level of class participation and an excellent instructor. It made for an outstanding class.

TIMOTHY Q.

Great experience, learned a lot about myself, management and team building concepts and how to put them into play.

BILL K.

MANAGER

Industry: Business Services

The communication and feedback, the small class size, it all worked so beautifully to create an very enriching and educational experience. I also liked this style better than a two day in-person seminars because it gave me time to enact a few things and then regroup with the class.

Course was filled with so much great information; coaching and guiding through the process and lessons learned very beneficial.
