The way Rich presented everything was perfect, and he presented everything in a real-life-situation manner that everyone could relate to. We could've easily spent all week with him and kept learning more. Most valuable course I've taken so far. No joke, this was a life-changing course.

Very relevant for a frequently neglected area in corporations. Tracy’s vast experience comes through and she shows genuine care for the folks in her courses. She gives constructive feedback which allows one to improve rather than only focus on what works. I feel like I will be a better leader going forward.

The content was useful, and Bob did a good job teaching it. AMA needs to update the facility and get with the times on the A/V -- the computer/DVD setup for showing videos is old and outdated. Ditch the JVC tube TV and the DVDs, and use content from the web, on the big screen. The rooms are looking dated. Worn fabric on chairs. No pens. Ceilings are dirty and need painting. Etc.

I loved the way the instructor connected the dots between the different sessions. The first day felt slow but it all came together in the end, which is what good training is about. The instructor Bob is a walking library of experience and knowledge. His stories and anecdotes brought to life how to apply the leadership skills taught. And they generated great discussions and experience sharing among participants.

Robert followed the manual and covered every chapter in depth, but he also he made sure he made time to exemplify the dry book material with real life examples based on his broad knowledge and experience. He enthusiastically answered all our questions, with an obvious desire to leave the students satisfied with the answers. He engaged the class, and encouraged participation, feedback and brainstorming, Great energy!

Bob did an excellent job of providing us with a phenomenal understanding of the course material, as well as being able to dive deep and brought in extra materials.

I truly enjoyed this seminar because it was focused on how to improve your leadership skills by knowing the preferences of the people you work with. I liked that we made the MBTI and that we worked with practical examples to learn about the different styles and how important they are to improve our relationship with our team members.

The group was very good and we got to exchange experiences on how each of us manages our teams.

I would definitely recommend this seminar to anyone who is interested in improving their skills to work with their team members.

This seminar was very helpful, and Tracy was a fantastic instructor. She was enthusiastic throughout, and made great effort to accommodate our group's requests for pace and structure of the class. The worksheets, role playing, and discussion activities provided an unparalleled experience to better grasp and maintain my understanding of the techniques and concepts taught. Tracy brought her own personal stories and experiences in to help give real-life examples, as well as encouraging us to do the same. With this I was able to receive tools, tips, and feedback about the challenges I currently face in my workplace. I would definitely recommend this seminar to others, and I hope to attend future AMA seminars in the future.

Great course with a lot of good information and instruction. Sometimes I felt as if the exercises in the workbook did not demonstrate a point. Some were random. Yvonne knew her stuff and relayed a lot of interesting stories from her personal background.
I wish we would have had more time for delving into how to communicate with different personality styles. That would have been extremely helpful. I did check out a website that Yvonne recommended, but the site did not give any free information. You had to pay for EVERYTHING.
The Empowerment module was my favorite module.
The snack offered were not health - just candy and soda. Would prefer healthier options.

Material was good and will be usable in my daily work. I am excited to get back and start applying it. On the contrary, I did not find my instructor to be a subject matter expert. As a matter of fact, it seemed by the end she had little experience actually leading people in an intense environment. I gave feedback on day two that she still had not established credibility in the area she was instructing due to ansence of any meaningful examples of how she had applied principles in real life or learned from any experiences. As a result, she continued on the same path on day three. She repeatedly told us we needed to teach each other. True is the point that we can learn from each other, but I paid the money I did to have a dynamic leader of course instruction. I did not get this on this occasion. I expected the best available given the expense incurred. If this is the caliber of all of AMA instructors, I likely would not attend another seminar. I would be happy to discuss further if necessary. I can be reached at email provided.
