Typical Participant Mix

Patrick Farrell

"I developed a much higher sense of self awareness. Also, I was able to get insights from peers and from members of my organization about my leadership style which helped me realized how I can deliver more effective leadership. Back at the work, we then reorganized the company around a much smaller leadership team. We also started to focus much more on the business itself, while we had been more focused on the technical problems before. All of these insights were valuable takeaways from the program."

"It is a well balanced program in terms of presentations and small group work. It is brief and to the point and very relevant to a CXO's life. It really provides clarity to things that we know (more or less) in an extremely effective way."
