Across industries, backgrounds, age groups, and life circumstances, the same themes appear again and again: honesty, growth, discomfort, accountability, purpose, leadership, and people finally seeing themselves differently.
“This class was amazing, it helped me reflect and look at myself and showed me how I could be a better leader, better person, better father, and better husband. I brought a perspective to myself and helped my pride and self worth. It helped me be motiviated to be a better leader and inspire myself.”
“The class is very beneficial. Very good information and I appreciate all the personal stories and sharing it all with us. Will take away many personal goals to acomplish. I want to look into what I wantmy true purpose in life to be. I wouldn't change a thing.”
“At first I did not want to come to the class. But the guys in the crew talked me into coming. So I did and I'm glad I came because it made me look inside myself and do a little self evaluation. I will think before I speak to other a little more and I will listen more when they speak.”
“The most reflective time I have spend at work some awesome tools to use but the biggest take away is looking at myself and what I need to do to become a better leader.”
“How to look at myself and make adjustments to my life. How to work and use the DCOM and what it will do for my crew. How to coach vs supervise. The power of public speaking (my weakness). What this project means to all of us (the big picture). Keeping everyone safe by having the right culture.”
“The class in good in my eyes because it promotes positivity. While many trades men and women already demonstrate the abilities discussed in this class there are many that do not, but with this class maybe the other half will learn to adapt in a positive way. If we want to change the world we have to start off small and let it trickle out amounst those willing to accept change and then build a strong foundation around them.”

You're a matter-of-fact guy & I love that about you! Thank you, Jack.”
“As a young leader, this class brought a lot to light for me. It doesn't matter to me anymore hat I am as young as I am in this position. People are people and with this class I gained the confidence to delivre an effective message. More importantly I learned alot about myself. What I value truly affects my decisions daily. Where I am and where I want to be is still quite a ways off but with this training, it has finally set me on the direction I needed to be on. I realized I'm not a small fish in a big pond. You are who you want to be. ot who someone says you are. Thank you and your team for doing what you do. -Jeffrey Agnone”

Also, pointed out some weaknesses that I was not aware of. One of the things that I will use in the field is, methods that can be used to improve the culture for my crew. Also, providing more feedback positive and constructive.”
