1. The quality of the program
  • Excellent presentation & very useful training for managing/supervising at work & home.
  • First Rate—The most useful seminar I ever attended
  • Very engaging, highly focused, deep look at each of us (personally) makes this program more powerful than an X-ray, MRI, Psychiatric evaluation, because we see and interpret the results, and can make adjustments!
  • Excellent! You have a passion for what you do & it shows in your presentation more than any other program like it that I have been to.
  • Excellent because it was backed up with facts, lots of tools & books.
  • Very effective. Not only did I learn about myself a little more, but I truly felt Encouraged to make changes.
  • It was perfectly engaging and reasonably inspiring, but I'd have preferred something more factual and informative. I'll refer to the "suggested reading" list.
  • It was a great experience with a lot of great information. It was a lot of fun and engaging. The program was very helpful in learning about myself & life in general.
  • I have been to many seminars and "motivational" events over the past 16 years, however, this is the first which separated "emotion" from "facts"
  • EXCELLENT!!
  • I think the program has a positive outcome. It will make a real impact on my personal life.
  • Excellent, the information is credible, presented in such a crafted manner, so as to allow light bulbs to go off in very individual ways.

2. Professional presentation of the instructors:
  • The Best. Energetic, dynamic, entertaining & knowledgeable.
  • Both Rick & Paul are very interesting people above all else, and make the course so stimulating, that a 2 1/2 day course, seems like a casual get together among friends & we get to walk away with profound information.
  • You guys know your stuff!!
  • Professional but comfortable
  • High Energy! Knowledgeable, Professional, Genuine (lived it)
  • I'd prefer Power Point.
  • Top Shelf. Rick and Barbara make a fine team!
  • Both Rick & Paul were great. They are very fun & entertaining. They both have lots of helpful stories and information.
  • Very poised & confident. Entertaining as well.
  • OH my God----Too Good! Loved Everything. Rick & Paul have it "All together". Enjoyed listening to the many stories.
  • Rick & Paul both very professional, yet still comical. This is a great thing, it helps keep our attention and still get the message across.
  • Excellent, Top Notch.

3. Helpful suggestions for improving the program:
  • Spend additional time & examples on conflict resolution
  • Make it a 3-day
  • They kept a good pace for the program but it felt rushed to get all information in, in 2 ˝ day course, I would like to see it be a 3-day & I would like to go through a refresher course 1 or 2 times a year!
  • I know there are time restraints, but group activities make people really engage & I believe, listen & learn more, so I would keep with the exercises & maybe add one on day #1 to keep people going & active.
  • To keep in check your language. I know you would not intentionally speak ill of someone's father, but when you use his name as a "swear" it is hurtful.
  • Encourage more resources from same company. Develop into culture.
  • Further testing and exploration of power point might yield a cleaner presentation.
  • Color materials, possibly going more hours on first few days, to eliminate third day.
  • I thought the program was great. I do not think I would change a thing.
  • I've been to many excellent seminars/professional development conferences. This was as good as it gets!

4. How has the Performance Dynamics assessment and feedback influenced you?
  • It has made me gain a better understanding of my personality & it helped me to identify areas of improvement for many areas of my life.
  • Absolutely.
  • It has let me see my weaknesses, and given me insight in how to make adjustments to become a better leader, and also proven to me that I have strengths that I can showcase.
  • Wow! I know me, but now I really know me in the sense that just because I think it, doesn't mean I act it. It showed me no real surprises about my personality really, which is good to admit but I now know I need to harness how & who I am.
  • Surprising at first but then right on the money.
  • Opened my eyes to areas in my life in which I should work to improve in order to be a successful leader.
  • Yes, to work on Transformational Power Base and Balance of life.
  • The proof will be in the pudding. Ask me in a year or two.
  • The program has helped me learn a lot about myself & what causes me to perform some of the ways I do. It has opened my eyes to things I need to work on & improve. It's a great foundation for me to start my next step.
  • I have seen that high traits such as Competitiveness & High Energy can be too high & not a badge of honor when left unchecked.
  • It has given me a better idea of who I really am and things I need to work on.
  • The most impact it had on me is the Balance of Life. I work 2 jobs and put in way too many hours. I need to spend time with my wife & 2 kids.
  • Profoundly. I came to this course seeking answers, not only about my organizational (leadership) challenges, but also about me personally. I have worked through much, but have also received so many resources that I didn't expect that will help my organization.

5. How do you think this program will influence your leadership style?
  • Increase my need to address conflict resolution and dealing with my department.
  • It has shown me the Road……Now it is my responsibility to make it work.
  • Reality therapy will always get you to be true north. Stay Focused, Determined & Structured will get me to where I want to be.
  • No doubt I should be a better leader because all the tools are in me. I hope to bring the skills in the book to the people that have never been given the opportunity to think like this. Hopefully they will be open & willing to learn about them as well.
  • Greatly – I plan on listening more – talk less – take time to know who I work with.
  • Hopefully I will become a more assertive leader, but it is up to me (I'm responsible for making the transformation).
  • Encouraged to make the changes above. Needed to have this forum = 2 Dynamic individuals focused on Leadership in Life and Business.
  • I hope to progress from flailing aimlessly to flailing in a direction.
  • The program has helped me to understand about what it takes to be a good leader & helped me to understand what I need to do to reach that.
  • I believe it will balance it and improve my interpersonal relationships.
  • I will be a much better listener and also show appreciation for the members of my "Team"
  • It will help me communicate better with others and not avoid situations.
  • Positively, I plan to work toward changing in areas that will benefit me as a person, as a leader, and as an employee. I plan to develop (and control) my natural attributes for a more joyful life and for becoming a more effective leader in my roles.

6. What makes this program different from others you've attended?
  • Focuses on key personality traits that impair effectiveness/productivity.
  • Actually applicable & useable

  • I have never seen the instructor be the owner. I have also never seen anyone with such belief of & love of what they do, and it really shows.
  • Showing me – "ME" Who I am 1st where I should aspire to be as a leader.
  • Very interesting….Always kept my attention. Never Dull or Boring.
