Client Testimonials

The return on investment is obvious—you will have a management team that is much more cohesive and collaborative. I see it every day.
I am already using the knowledge and tools that I learned, daily. I believe the techniques on how to better communicate—both upward and downward—in the corporate environment will help my team achieve better results.
As a new manager, the skills and experiences learned during this program will help me manage and build my team. It has also given me confidence in my leadership abilities, which will help me grow in the coming year.
I am holding more effective meetings and mentoring other employees to help play a larger role in our company moving forward—that alone was worth the investment.
I appreciate my company making this investment in me—these are tools I will carry with me for the rest of my life. It challenged me in many ways I never thought possible.
Thanks to Five Degrees Consulting, I am ready for the next step! I would like to expand my contributions to my organization, based on the strengths that this program has helped me identify.
I feel more capable of managing a team directly because of the tools I gained in this program.
