Following is a sampling of participant feedback:
"(The facilitators) did an amazing job of keeping us on task, while encouraging
our input and frivolity. You can usually predict the effectiveness of a training
(session) in the first half hour, and (the facilitators) were as good as I've seen
at quickly gaining our trust and attentiveness. The personal goal setting and
projected follow-up are certainly an important part of this process, and I look
forward to working with them in the future, as we fine-tune my leadership."
