Here’s What Others Said About the Enlightened Leadership Solutions…
“I have loved being able to use the technology that you have offered (Webinar, InstantTeleseminar, conference calls) to listen to each new concept presented in our Webinars and then be allowed to PRACTICE them while still in training. I didn’t have to travel into a “fake” environment where all I learned were theories and then try to remember to use those theories when I finally returned back at work. I love being a part of a worldwide (at least more worldly than my current group of managers!) group of folks seeking to be enlightened leaders. I feel connected to more of the managers “out there” who, from the questions being asked, are being challenged in the same ways I am being challenged. I get stuck from time to time in the thought pattern that WE (my division) are the only ones with these challenges. I am feeling “hope” that I can be a better example of a leader.”
Kathy Tyler, IT Manager, State of California, Sacramento

“I appreciate that you include a variety of speakers who can talk about their experiences. I’m really glad that you provide so many resources – the books, slide presentations, handouts, etc. I enjoy the things you do to make the sessions interactive. I also appreciate your willingness to offer special sessions and to find out how you can tailor things according to what the group wants. Your openness to providing some extras beyond the “set” agenda is very impressive.”
Bridget McKeage, Director, Primaris, Columbia, MO

“Our operations manager is a very passionate and proud person. This is what makes her a great manager in the fact that she will do what it takes to get things done. The challenge is and was that often when in a situation of offering advice and/or constructive criticism that pride would trigger the natural defense mechanism that we all have. Often, it would be a situation emotions would get in the way of what was trying to be accomplished, despite both sides wanting the same result. Since attending this seminar, our meetings have been extremely effective. It is amazing how just a slightly different approach has opened up communication. Not only have I seen it in the one on one meetings but the overall aura, if you will, in the office has been a much more positive one.
I really look forward to continually improving my approach to leadership going forward.
Greg Nicklas, General Manager, Maid Brigade, Portland, OR
