“The Leadership Forum was fantastic. It was not only broad in content, but also provided sufficient depth to implement now.”
“Enough diversity on topics to make a well-rounded picture. From personality type analysis to understanding trends, to improving communication.”
“The focus on individual strengths/weaknesses that allow the lessons to apply to each person.”
“Breadth, depth, variety of speakers, active engagement.”
