The success of our 2-½ day leadership training programs continues to increase demand for seats. It is always with regret when we have to turn someone away when the program is sold out. This is happening on a more frequent basis. Many of our clients are requiring this program in the development plans of their staff and are reserving seats months in advance. We encourage you to act quickly in enrolling yourself or your staff in these programs so we can be sure to meet your needs. We are always willing to add an additional program to our schedule, onsite at your company, if you can gather a group of 20 or more people.
