Here's what people are saying about the workshop:

“Just 45 minutes into this training I realized that I had already gotten my money’s worth.”

“The High-Performance Leadership class has already helped me elevate my facilitation game."

"I added a bunch of new tools in my leadership toolbox!"

"One of the most powerful effects of the High-Performance Leadership training was how much it raised my confidence as a team member and leader. The setting was psychologically safe, supportive, and encouraging. The content was enlightening and engaging. These are in-the-moment, useful tools shared for bringing the facilitation and communication skills needed to create effective meetings, and any, really any situation involving successful engagement with others. "

"The High-Performance Leadership class was more than worth the money spent. Though my lean journey seems like it is really at an early stage, I needed to go to the next level. This course really gave me the tools and more to do just that. I think this class would be perfect for an intermediate level or even and an advanced Lean practitioner."
