Jimmar Wilson5 out of 5I was very impressed with the Strategic Planning course and glad I attended. The information was helpful and plan to incorporate much of what I learned into the work that I do.5/21/2026
Gosia Machala4 out of 5I enjoyed the topic and the facilitator’s expertise, however, I feel that 4 hours was not enough for a practical experience and to thoroughly teach and reinforce critical concepts in the program. Great overview, but the promise of practical application was a bit oversold.6/24/2024

Catie Dillemuth5 out of 5This was a great experience! I came in with high expectations, and they were met. I was able to bring an opportunity back to my place of employment which I am working on implementing now.7/18/2023
Yvonne Woytovich5 out of 5I really enjoyed this workshop. I have facilitated strategic planning sessions many times before, and sometimes the “plan” is never finished or implemented. In fact, sometimes we don’t know what to do with the information we gleaned as a result of the session. Most often, we’ve chosen one item to take action on.
However, this workshop gave us the tools we need to move from the planning stage to the implementation stage. The tools included help to create action steps easily and achieve real results. Additionally, I gained new perspectives on aspects of the strategic planning process that I had not encountered prior to the workshop.

Nora5 out of 5I took this course with members of a training development team I work with. The instructor put us in a different breakout room to be together. It really helped us put down a lot of thoughts that were in our heads down on paper and work through them.4/26/2023
Britney Starr5 out of 5Over all I thought the class was very beneficial. I have already been applying it at my job with very positive results. The class delivery was very well done, the trainer kept it moving but went over everything sufficiently. The work book was also key as I have referenced it several times since completing the class.4/26/2023
