“Essential Leadership is a great program that gets to the core of leadership.  This program offers a powerful set of practical tools and ideas that aren’t just overall concepts; it includes the smaller “how to’s” that help facilitate change and that can be applied immediately.  We couldn't have had a better facilitator!  Dale McKee has the innate ability to engage the group in discussion then directs the training to meet the needs.  Dale models the leadership traits and skills with conviction and belief. Essential Leadership is a fun, relevant, timely and inspiring training session you can bring into your organization at any level.  Dale is particularly great at teaching lessons that anyone can learn and apply no matter where you are on your leadership journey.  Highly recommended!”

From the participant's point of view...

I enjoyed the “Essentials of Leadership” course because it focuses on the key elements managers need to become effective leaders. Businesses typically take their star performers and insert them into management positions without providing them the skills to be effective leaders. The course taught me effective leadership techniques before I had to learn them through bad experiences. I especially liked the workshop format because the instructor, a successful and experienced leader, coached me while I practiced the leadership skills I had just learned. I also liked learning how my personality affects my leadership style and the course showed me techniques for overcoming personal tendencies to be a better leader. I highly recommend this course for any manager who has not received leadership training, regardless of how experienced you are. If you are open to growing, this course is for you.
