​WHAT graduates ARE SAYING ABOUT
​FROM MANAGER TO LEADER™...

“You inspire me to release the me I know I am...I know this year of growth has set me on the path to become the person & leader I was born to be- a better and stronger version of me with the drive, focus and ability to achieve my vision.”  -Lesley, GM
“As managers, we all get stuck in that typical “Management Mentality” but to be an effective manager you must first go back to the basics and take a good look at what being a GOOD manager truly entails; for me applying the LEADERSHIP aspect was a huge breakthrough in the way I structure my daily routine with my team as well as my daily personal life.”  -Vanessa, AGM
"She helped me change my manager mentality to a leader mentality.  I left with techniques and ideas to create a better culture for my team, tools that will help me develop leaders, create team unity and establish a clear focus.  Her class made a lasting impact on me and I’m excited to continually implement the new leadership tools she taught us.”  -Justin, AGM
“I am so happy with the results of this leadership training.  It has really helped me be able to channel what I already feel and am passionate about.  Now [this strategy] will be my roadmap to getting the results I want from myself and my team!  I truly believe this training is what we choose to make of it, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it and will be a better leader because of it.  THANK YOU!!”  
​-Natalie, GM
