What recent grad say about Workplace Conversations

This course covers a wide range of critical skills applicable to both managing and leading people. As a busy professional, I feel the format delivers the content in a way that is easy to absorb. The people first approach is my favorite part, and the resources that are offered through this course are right on with what I need to continue building my skills in managing and leading.
- Jack L., Logistics Manager
I have been in management roles and have never been taught anything close to the 3W feedback method. I wish it was something that I was taught sooner in life as it is a method that I am not only using with my direct reports at work but have been able to apply this at home, even at home with my son. I am so thankful that I was able to learn something so essential!
