Participants valued the experience and saw the direct application in their roles as leaders. Some of their comments were:

- “I have grown as a leader as the result of this course. I recently transitioned from one level of leadership to another. The refresher on some concepts and the introduction to others will help me to succeed.”

  

- “The final class pulled all of the information together quite well – in particular Sinek’s video – making it time well spent.”

- “I feel I will be improving my leadership skills and thought processes based on the information provided.”
