Comments from past participants:


"This course has helped me to grow in my leadership and confidence
immensely. Hands down, Gail is an awesome presented, mentor and leader."

both individually and for use in the work environment. Well planned,
structured and resourceful."

map out a course of action strengths: clear tools to identify problems
institutionally and ways to fix them."

our institutions to others in an objective way."
