TESTIMONIAL(S)

“Leadership Essentials was a turning point for me in terms of how I looked at leadership and how I could develop my leadership style to become a better manager. I feel much better equipped to support my teams and move them forward. The program was a great opportunity to take a step back, question how I do things, challenge my ideas and grow, both professionally and personally.”

- Geneviève Goyette, Project Manager, Les entreprises Réjean Goyette

“I highly recommend the Leadership Essentials program, which has done a lot for my personal and professional development. Understanding people and working together to grow is the basis for any human relationship. Everything about the courses was great: the instructors in charge of the various modules, the support they provided and the guest speakers whose presentations and contributions gave us some real food for thought.”

- Yves Schneider, Operations Manager, Première Moisson
