What attendees are saying...

Cyndi Wentland is an awesome instructor, and she definitely knows leadership. She did not just talk at the class, but she gave the class an opportunity to have discussions and learn from the materials. I would definitely attend another class.
Cyndi was a fantastic course facilitator — I hope to take another course with her in the future. I highly recommend her as an educator.
I appreciate the presence/energy Cyndi brought to the group. She named people and recognized their contributions in a way that made the group feel smaller and more intimate.

What Attendees Are Saying

The class helps people who may not have experience in lead roles to develop a plan to start leading.
I learned how leadership differs from management, the history of leadership theory, and how to start to implement Values-Based Learning.
I have a better idea of what my values are. Management and leadership are sometimes interchangeable but usually have their own characteristics.
