HEAR FROM OUR LEADERS

  • Elizabeth

    “The most rewarding things about this training were meeting Team Leaders from other stores, collaborating over the two days, learning how to deliver feedback, establishing the shift from individual contributor to Team Leader, establishing what may be difficult in role, and going over team/task management and how to manage that and be a good leader. The most exciting thing about this training is that for those coming into a management role for the first time, this training is very good for establishing a platform to build your management style and give skills for the future.”

  • Riane

    “It was most rewarding meeting and getting to know new people who have the same conditions and also are peers. The most exciting was getting to know how to actually give feedback and how to give compliments before opportunities.”

  • Galia
