Testimonials
"This was truly an excellent learning opportunity. The mix of video, group discussion, written exercises, and lecture were excellent. I learned a lot of new ways to approach situations. I was able to experience the difference that new ways of managing can have. We have had a number of "management" sessions in the past, but this is the first time that I feel enthusiastic about ways that I can change and improve my management skills/style."
Dan Principle, Manager, Cadec Systems, Inc.
