Client Stories

“The Engaged Leader program gave me the learning I wanted, the way I wanted it: smart, fast, interesting, engaging and quickly applicable. As an experienced leader, I couldn’t imagine what insights could be learned….and I learned A LOT. I now understand the value of connecting with people first before giving my “spiel”. I also became better at listening, empathizing and finding the words that built trust. As I grew and modeled new behaviors for my team, they in turn have become stronger leaders and even more effective at business development. As a family business, the ripple effect has helped us both personally and professionally. Bottom line? GREAT investment.”
Ira Bass, President

“As a result of the Engaged Leader program, I now have an increased self-awareness of how people may perceive me versus how I want to be perceived. It taught me how to communicate even more positively with my team and co-workers by focusing on my words, tone and body language. It also impacted our leadership team as a whole. We now have better communication and handle issues in a more positive way that benefits everyone involved.”
Pam Jefferies, Controller

“The engaged leader program works. We take every leader through this program and it’s had more impact on our leadership ability than any other program. My entire team is more engaged and our culture has improved more than I ever thought possible.”
David Stophel, CEO
