Testimonials of Leadership Course (turbo) graduates
Why would you encourage someone to invest 4 months of their time participating in a future Leadership Course (Turbo)?
“… because it offers training and the opportunity to think and analyze scenarios in a way that I have not seen First Free present in training before. While a lecture venue has its place, the kind of brainstorming that occurs when you are thrust in a very plausible mock real life situation prompts you to think outside of the box. I found this aspect of the training that occurred to be exhilarating. It took me out of my comfort zone and stretched me because I could not take the posture of simply taking notes about someone else's thoughts and solutions to a dilemma.” Alicia, Civil Engineering Designer
