This program broadened my leadership capabilities and helped expand my skill sets. My staff remarks that they have seen a "change." I think upper management director should attend - this was good.

I find myself doing more self-reflection. I am working on my active listening and providing immediate feedback to others.

It was such a pleasure to be given the opportunity to participate in this program. Both the instructors were excellent and I greatly appreciate them providing us the opportunity to finish the certificate program.

You gave me confidence and are an inspiration for me to become a better leader. Thank you very much for an excellent program. I have a large tooklit to utilize now.
