Contextual Leadership helped me see what was at play (unknown) in the background, shaping my interactions and effectiveness. I was able to shift the context from which I operated intentionally, and get in the driver’s seat of what I wanted to create for the office. My own transformation with my team was so powerful that I wanted my leaders to have the same access to effectiveness. We held several Contextual Leadership workshops with my executive and supervisory teams, with incredible results. Imagine, a “training” that managers and supervisors continue to request more of...unbelievable! Contextual Leadership is the most powerful methodology I’ve encountered for taking effective action.

This course taught me how to be more collaborative in my efforts as a marketing and events manager. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we need creative solutions, and this expands my toolbox to help my organization innovate and succeed.

The Personal Creativity course allowed me to take a step back from the job search I am currently facing, and focus on refining my creativity skills that have been neglected for quite a while. It made me think that I might even switch gears a bit professionally moving forward. I also appreciate that this online course was extremely user friendly and offered some additional tools and exercises I had not been aware of before taking it. I can't wait to put them into practice.
