“The course demonstrated to me leadership strategies and provided a safe environment to test and practice those strategies. The most valuable pieces of the experience were my engagement with peers, who all wanted to improve their leadership skills and provided helpful feedback, and the coaches, who all sought to understand my goals and worked to help me build a personal strategy to achieve those goals. This experience was an excellent use of my time and a great investment by my company that has already started to pay dividends.”

“CCL gives participants great tools that they can use when they get back to their everyday jobs and provide the follow-up that is so lacking in other programs. There is an overall genuineness from the CCL instructors that other programs do not have and the instructors have credentials and life experience to back it. I left with tools, instruction on how to use them, and more importantly, resources that allow me to use them correctly. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has any feelings of moving into leadership or is in leadership.”
