“LOOKING AT LEADERSHIP THROUGH A NEW LENS WAS REFRESHING AND HELPED TO UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE."

"ENJOYED GROUP DISCUSSIONS & READING WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN THE COURSE."

"FOR ME, IT WAS THE 'LOOKING FROM THE BALCONY' ASPECT. I TAKE WHAT I AM DOING TO A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE."

"KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BRAD - IT WAS PERFECT!"

"IF I WOULD HAVE HAD THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF MY CAREER, I KNOW I WOULD HAVE HANDLED THINGS DIFFERENTLY. I THINK ANYONE GOING INTO COACHING OR A LEADERSHIP ROLE SHOULD THIS BOOK AS MANDATORY COURSEWORK."

"I THINK ANYONE COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE, REGARDLESS IF YOU THINK YOU ARE IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE OR NOT. EVERYONE PLAYS THE ROLE OF A LEADER EVEN IN SMALL WAYS. THIS WOULD ALSO HELP OTHERS UNDERSTAND THE SKILLS IT TAKES TO LEAD."

"COURSE OPENS UP NEW WAYS TO APPROACH AND UNDERSTAND WHAT TO EXPECT AS A LEADER. I WISH I TOOK THIS COURSE 20 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED."

"THIS IS THE 3RD COURSE I HAVE TAKEN FROM DR. STRAND - I KNOW FROM PREVIOUS COURSES THAT I WILL GET SOMETHING BENEFICIAL OUT OF IT."
