“I would just like to say thank you very much for the insights you shared this past weekend. I have already had the opportunity to practice empathetic listening. I have also caught myself contemplating how my actions with make others feel- something I never realized I did. I am practicing the skills we covered; it has already paid off with one angry customer.”

“I had an interview today and after it was over the two interviewers seemed to feel I may even be a good fit for the position. They said they would notify me in a few days. Although, even if I don't, I have to thank you so much because much of what I said came from taking your class. I was able to articulate my true feelings toward some "scenario / what if" questions because of all I learned in your class about building trust, recognizing the differences in generations, and through your class, I was able to see what my managing style is/would be like.”

“Ever since I let my bad seed employee go not only have I experienced more cohesiveness among the staff but also an overall increase in the Department's morale. I recently have fired two more very low performers and the place is now a dream job. Thank you for helping me change my leadership style!!
