“This program got me out of the spin cycle. One of the biggest reasons I joined this program was to figure out how to do more guiding and less operating in my business and 5 weeks in, I'm already making major progress on that goal.”

“Since doing the Leadership Development Program I am leading my team, business and life with what matters to me most, now that "what matters" is clearly defined. Setting boundaries was not something in my brain before we began this program. As a people pleaser, I was always putting the needs of others first, many times to my detriment. Now, I take those needs into consideration but give my needs top spot on the hierarchy. If you are looking for tools to help you regain your energy and passion for what matters most to you, and emerge out of overwhelm, then this is the program for you.”

"After 17 years working with the same team member, I got feedback recently that I’m not as tough as I used to be, I’m listening more but not sacrificing standards…and that is a credit to you two and this whole group in The Walk-In.”

"I was nervous the toolkit would be everything I already knew but was just too lazy to put together in a nice package. I was worried about paying for something that I could have done myself and might not offer any new information. Boy, was I wrong! This is a life saving tool. 100% I would encourage someone who’s thinking about buying this tool to do it! The way that the document is formatted is a dream. It only takes a brief tutorial for staff members to feel comfortable enough to begin using it daily. I have customized this tool for many openings to great success, leading teams to stay on track with their tasks and deadlines.”
