“My leadership journey continues to go well. I took my insights from the course and put them into action, especially in the 'model the way' and 'encourage the heart' aspects of the Leadership Practice Inventory. I've been well served by my learning at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We continue to advocate your Leadership program because it gives us a competitive advantage.”
Louis Grice, Vice President of Marketing & Communications, Phoenix Contact USA
“The program content provides the forum to explore very meaningful choices leaders can make every day... It’s amazing to see the positive reactions from people once old issues are addressed in a new way... It was the best, most practical and well-rounded session I’ve ever attended.”

“Taking this course is a life-changing event if you are willing to make the commitment. I am into my second week after completing the course and find myself constantly considering opportunities on how I can live what I have learned. The course comes with a heavy burden...you must be willing to be an agent of change. Get outside that comfort zone and live a little. I am sharing the learnings of this course up and down my organization. I am using the personal information gathered to capitalize on my strengths and take my organization to the next level. I have a long way to go but the ball is in my court.”
Craig McDonald, Regional Manager, North Atlantic Region, Trus Joist,
A Weyerhaeuser Business
"I've learned to trust my own judgment more than ever. My leadership now is about doing the right thing at the expense of popular opinion sometimes. I’ve become much more direct with my team on issues that are important to me by explaining the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of my decisions. The team tells me that I’m engendering greater trust because I’m doing this.”
David Pagenkopf, Manager of Systems Development, Promega
