I've enjoyed the off-site sessions a great deal. The topics have been
informative but particularly like the opportunity to interact with fellow
supervisors in a less hectic environment. Also appreciated the off-beat atmosphere
created by the Worklife folks. It helped to break the ice by providing a
festive, non-formal atmosphere.²
I think it's important for the health of the group to continue the
sessions. It provides a good forum to discuss issues and problems that
managers/supervisors face daily. Understanding how others deal with
issues/problems provide valuable insight for others when encountering (and
even preventing) similar situation.²
I feel I am a better leader because of the program. Members of my group
have responded to my development by demonstrating new and improved
skills. The routine coaching has improved their effectiveness, making
alignment of talent easier.²

Certainly true professionally. This reminds me of the Army slogan "be all
that you can be". The programs helped define a course for leaders that pays
dividends professionally. Ultimately, one feels better personally.²
To tell you the truth, I constantly rave about the proactive approach that
our company has taken toward helping managers and supervisors deal with
daily issues, particularly people issues. I've been around the company for
many, many years and have NEVER seen a department that demonstrated such
forward thinking programs as I've seen in our group. It should be a model
for other departments in the company.²
It is essential for the leadership group (managers and supervisors) of our
company to continue the "safe space" dialogue that occurs as part of the
development programs. These offsite sessions have developed a cohesive and
emotionally aware team that is more effective in dealing with the
complexities of today's business and professional environments.²
It has clearly raised our "EQ" level
