CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Partner of Financial Investment Firm
I have attended a large number of different leadership and communication programs over the years. The SOAR program was one of the best development programs I have ever attended. My leadership perspective has changed profoundly. I use the SOAR tools almost every day at work and in my personal life and it was made a noticeable difference in my effectiveness and ability to motivate my team. I will send my entire management staff to this program! Thank you!
Department Manager, Local Government
Friderike is a truly gifted facilitator and trainer. Her on-the-spot coaching skills gave the group many opportunities for deep discussions at a level of honesty and vulnerability that I have not witnessed in other professional groups before. The peer learning was one of my favorite part of the SOAR experience and the relationships that have formed between my accountability group members are truly special and inspiring.
Director of Membership, Non-profit Organization
The incremental learning and experiential approach of SOAR was ideal for me to internalize the material and to put it to immediate use. The communication with my staff and with other department heads is much more productive and I feel much more confident and competent in my new leadership role. I now able to see breakdowns as opportunities to strengthen relationships and improve processes and that has had an enormous impact on my effectiveness as a team leader and in my interactions with other departments.
