The instructor was very engaging and knowledgeable. This was a great class I am glad I was able to take because it organized the thought process of being a manager and how to develop the people that report to you.

It was a great course. I learned a lot about how others think and how to manage different types of people. The role playing helped in communicating feedback to employees. David was a terrific instructor.

This was a good course but it was pretty California-specific so not necessarily very useful for trainees from other states. The classroom conditions were poor as a proper room was not booked and it was rather crammed. No lunch or snacks were provided. Limited amounts of sodas, no juices and overall lack of attention to the comfort of the trainees who were in the room for 8 hours worsened the experience somewhat.

I really enjoyed the course, it gave me very positive insight into the areas I am able to improve and ideas for different case scenarios etc. The instructor was fantastic and the class was well led. The different exercises, individually and in teams, were also very productive.

I would have lacked a slower pace on some of the subject matter that was more in line with my personal challenges. The role playing and demostrations really brought the class to life and I look forward to further advance training with you in the future. The two minute challenge will be one of the things I will truly treasure and put into action ASAP.

Seminar content was extraordinarily relevant to my job. This is the first seminar I attended where I could truly use the tools I learned immediately. Demonstrating our new knowledge through role playing enhanced the learning; I actually used information learned in Situational Leadership II the day I got back to the office. Michael is an outstanding facilitator. He demonstrated expertise and confidence in all information shared. I would highly recommend this seminar to new managers. I look forward to attending more AMA seminars in the very near future.

Our facilitator Pat did a wonderful job conveying the information and keeping everyone engaged through the day... The material seemed timely and useful and I've already put some of the skills I learned into practice... The hotel, while downtown, was a good choice and added a feel of importance to the class. The only criticism I can give is that some of the photos in the material seem a little dated - not a huge issue, but something that can take away the feel of timeliness from the material...

As a new manager it was good getting to meet with other new managers to learn new concepts, and to share our common issues...

A useful mix of topics which will give any new manager helpful tips on how to handle fairly common scenarios. Particularly enjoyed the situational leadership material and the related assessments.

The class was very exciting and full of knowledge. The teacher kept everyone's attention at all times, if she thought we was losing interest she changed it up. I learned alot that will help me in growing my team as a manager and give them specific and precise task to help them grow individually. I'd recommend this class to anyone that was becoming a new manager.

My recent seminar was very useful. I immediately started using my skills learned from this class. I can now identify developmental needs and apply situational leadership to each direct and indirect report. I am also comfortable delgating projects to team leads and supervisors to help them develop and grow in the company.

Our class speaker, Desiree was amazing! She was informative, knowledgeable, paced the class well, answered any and all questions, very friendly! She was great, and I hope any other classes will be taught by her as well. The class was great! I left feeling encouraged and educated. The class was very interactive and I really liked the role playing. It helped put your knowledge to test, before applying it to your every day work life.

I can't wait to take more classes! Highly recommended to anyone who is a new manager or has been out of management for a few years, such as myself.
