The leadership sessions offered so much more than I was expecting. The level of self-analysis was enlightening and very beneficial to apply immediately to not only my profession, but also my personal life. The sessions are very interactive and Patty’s encouragement allowed for a comfortable open forum and positive experience. Well worth the time investment!
