What other leader graduates of the Whole Leader program have to say:

“I’ve been in a new role as a Channel Sales Manager for a software company for almost a year. I work with about ten different partner companies and the challenges are always filled with emotional situations, including plenty of hijack scenarios.
The Whole Leader training has helped me work through hard scenarios with great results. Given my role in developing the overall business relationships, I’ve called many times on the EQ At Work Model as it helps guide my efforts to have much more productive engagements and working relationships.

I continue to be very grateful for the knowledge your program enabled me with. I’m also much happier and content in my personal life with family members with which I’ve had a history of challenges. It’s never going to be perfect, but I can understand and relate to the relationships for what they are now. I have the tools to work at it everyday.

The program was a breath of fresh air when I needed it most! Many thanks.”

Christopher Orr
Sales Manager

“The Whole Leader program enabled me to increase my “emotional” skills and to access and express my authentic self. The result is a new way of being—a powerful combination of insight, intent and action.”

Carol Bruce-Fritz, Executive Director
The Catamount Institute

“I have marked my time spent with Ken Blanchard, Denis Waitley, and Brian Tracy as my most significant training experiences. Now I must add the training and coaching I recently received in the Whole Leader program among my seminal experiences. My experience has proven to me that one’s emotional intelligence (EQ) can grow at any age, and that leaders at all levels will owe their success or failure to their level of emotional intelligence (EQ).

It is also clear to me now that any one-time workshop dealing with a subject like emotional intelligence will fall far short of the growth you can expect from the Whole Leader program with it’s support and follow-up coaching. Good motivational speeches and hot baths feel great at the time they are experienced, but they- like a one-time workshop- lack the capacity to sustain you. Reinforcement and support are necessary

After experiencing the comprehensive nature of this EQ At Work program, I have set a higher personal standard for what an effective leadership program must encompass.”

“I want to thank you for all you’ve done in helping me to accomplish my goals. I went to the Whole Leader program to learn how to grow my company, and came away with a new, positive outlook regarding business management.

My client relationships have improved greatly. I continue to use your lessons daily in my personal and professional life. Thanks to your guidance, it is satisfying to see my company growing and my goals reaching fruition.

David Ward, President

“During the past two years, EQ At Work has played a significant role in our staff development efforts through a coordinated program of leadership emotional intelligence training and coaching.
I would summarize our experience with EQ At Work by saying that it was a very worthwhile and meaningful partnership. From the evaluations we conducted, I conclude that almost all participants gained valuable learning which allowed them to enhance their self-awareness of interaction and leadership style.
Most reported they benefited greatly; several had a truly transformational experience and made huge strides in increased effectiveness and they took the initiative to speak publicly to the entire staff about their experience and the value of emotional intelligence development.
We consider the investment in this program as very worthwhile and will use EQ At Work in the future to develop staff leadership skills.”

Dave Seyfert, Vice President Human Resources

“I just wanted to take this time and thank you for everything that I was exposed to in the Whole Leader Program. I learned a great deal and have been able to use a large portion of it daily.
… and I no longer have to say to myself “I wish I had not said that.”
Again thank you for everything that you challenged me with and I can not express enough how much I enjoyed and benefited from your training.

“I learned to be more in the moment…present and expressing my feelings. I feel more at peace.”
