As a manager, I can now lead my team much more efficiently and have used the valuable resources taught to me to not only get the best out of my team but help them grow too.
I appreciated the clarification between the two concepts/definitions of leadership and managing.
Using real world examples and identifying which part of the situation was leadership vs management was very helpful in the distinction between the two.
I was ready to take my career to the next level. Having a weekly mastermind mentoring calls combined with watching the training videos, I’ve really noticed a change in my behavior and thinking.
I’ve been more strategic with my thinking.
I had a beautiful moment yesterday arriving at a far better technical solution after stepping back and starting with the “why” followed by the “what” to reveal a much better “how”.
This solved a long-running sticking point with a key partner integration that was stuck in limbo for weeks at the hands of this implementation detail.
