"The content on leadership and communications was different than other generic courses. Rather than focusing on one technique to “do/act”, we also examined how to remove obstacles that cross our paths and those of the members of our team."
"Caroline Kealey is a dynamic, engaging and insightful teacher and mentor who brings a fresh perspective on communicating in the 21st century. Her enthusiasm is absolutely genuine and entirely infectious - and the results are compelling."

"The course format kept us very active and attentive. We loved the collaborative approach, activities, pertinent discussions, and inspiring questions. The information was revealed like a gift, little by little, because there were too many great ideas to try to absorb/apply all of them at once. A lot of what we learned reminded me of things I learned in the past and forgot to apply daily. Made me reflect on my work, my team, my organization, the service we offer (what is going well and not so well). Gave us a strategic perspective, forcing us to see our work from a different angle."
