WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING

  • I think anyone can buy or access hard skills, but it’s the soft skills that are the differentiator.  They make the difference between the company that wins and the company that comes in second.  And we want to be the company that wins.

    Susannah Thurston, Corporate Communications, Delta Airlines

  • I believe every leader should have an opportunity to attend one of these boot camps because it makes you a better leader.  Sometimes we forget that soft skills can make you perform much better.

    Paula Barifouse, Corporate Communications, Director for Latin American Caribbean Region, Western Union
