My Expectations

bullet

bullet

Impressed with the level of instruction and facilitation.

‘It wasn’t just seminars” – interactivity encouraged team work and lead to connectivity with other participants.

Role Playing was a real benefit to my participation – it was a non-threatening opportunity to practice key skills.

Networking with other consultants – improved teamwork, good source for other solutions for clients

Favorite Modules:

Project management – keyed into my next phase of development - a real skill I could apply on the job and have used project management organization skills in expanded assignments in that area. I view this as necessary to a management position at <Name of Employer.>

bullet

Developed new skills in Proposal Writing, more organized. To me it was a needed skill enhancer – not a fun thing I do but Program allowed me to do it faster and with better content.

bullet

Most surprising module was Conflict Management – actual in workplace situation at <Name of client company where he was managing a project> came out well because of the skill overall

How Did I Feel About The Commitment Program – Partnering With Others On A Project. (Weekly Form)

bullet

Facilitators made it understood that this was a serious part of the program.

bullet

I was engaged into working with others – not a usual situation in my job. Formed lasting relationships.

bullet

We (partner) put things into action – didn’t do it alone.

bullet

Like the cross-training experience with different disciplines – discussions on issues in different company practice areas.

bullet

Felt it was OK to contact management for assistance and guidance

Overall Comments

bulletOne of the best experiences I have been through
bulletI thought the total length (8-9 months) and the in-between week was just right for the type of our workplace.
bullet3 hour ‘bursts’ really good – tired at the end of the day but stayed stimulated for 3 hours.
