Past Participant, Medical Analyst Researcher Mar 5, 2024
Overall the course was interesting and met the objectives. I liked the Learning Style survey prior to the course and the notebook was a very useful guide and resource. The course presentation was a bit slow for me, but I did appreciate the interaction with the other participants. I would have appreciated more breaks. It was difficult to be attentive and present for 3 1/2 hours with only one 10-12 minute break

Training was on par with other training that I have participated in. Facilitator did a good job trying to engage the participants, however, more opportunities to practice tools and techniques would have been helpful.
Past Participant, Blue Ocean Contact Centers Jun 14, 2022
The training was ok but more applicable for someone who doesn't have leadership experience. I was hoping for more insight into techniques related to working remotely since many of us are working remotely now, however course material didn't include this. There were a few group activities but additional techniques to keep audience engaged in virtual training could be beneficial.
Kim Campbell, Blue Ocean Contact Centers Mar 22, 2022
This was my first online training course and I was pleasantly surprised. The content was very informative and I appreciated the format. Tim Genck was a great facilitator. I found the pace just right and really enjoyed the group break out sessions. I definitely recommend this course

Instructor was great as a person but aged out in context (references to Jerry Mcguire may be dated), had issues with zoom meeting (camera not working, issues with getting media to play), and he accidentally shared inappropriate material on the meeting during the lunch break on the first day.

Sean Blakely, Manager, Security & Life Safety, Brookfield Properties Oct 14, 2021
It gave me the opportunity to practice what I do day-to-day. I got some insightful advice on my writing and what I add or eliminate. I also find that the textbook is really helpful to reference.
Bridget Bayliss, Director, The Agency For Co-Operative Housing Aug 16, 2021
Alan - runs a tight class setting; lots of structure while still allowing us to share within the group.

good balance of theory and practical, opportunities to practice in the break-out groups was appreciated

I like to small group, Bruce was attentive to all and mixed up the group so we had the chance to work with each participant in the training. Bruce was engaging and presented the material in an understandable way. He also used his own examples when applying the material. More information on "distance leadership" would have been great.
Past Participant, F&P Manufacturing Inc. Canada Sep 24, 2019
Great interaction, great instructor. Real world examples assisted greatly. Gives emphasis to the distinction between being a manager and a leader

The course was a strong reminder of skill sets i have previously learned through other courses at CMC, as well as internal training and other offsite training i have participated in. Lisa was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and was able to place real life instances in as examples to course material. Looking for training in regards to build successful succession planning for those you are looking to level up, as well as yourself.
Past participant, General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada Mar 13, 2018
Course Instructor was courteous, professional and a subject matter expert. The content changed depending on the types of questions that were being asked due to her ability to adapt as required while keeping everyone engaged and on topic. As stated earlier the Instructor was a subject matter expert who answered all questions and shifted the content to align with the questions while still meeting all the parameters of the course.

Strong topics related to managers at all levels. Very honest, knowledgeable and engaging.Well designed with lots of room for flexibility. Facilitator is key. Content is not strong without a good facilitator.
Past Participant, Brookfield Property Partners Jun 27, 2017
Our Facilitator was excellent. She included each of us in various scenario's which assisted in understanding how to be a good manager and team builder. She was very personable and made this an exciting course to attend. Again she was excellent.Again I found the course to be really interesting and extremely helpful. The only negative would be the booklet. It would have been easier if it was a binder so that I could insert my pages of notes into the relevant areas.

There were a few Key Takeaways from this course that were very Unique to me and I will implement in my Leadership Plans in 2017 right away. Salima was tremendous. She is so well spoken and presents the material very well and easy to understand and follow. She engages the class just enough and also presents examples/stories to give us great examples I would recommend this course to anyone with Salima as the presenter

Salima was great! She was VERY knowlegeable and allowed for class participation. There were some examples she was providing which didn't have a direct impact on my personal job etc (EX: Oprah as a leader etc) however, i loved her. I would love to take more courses she facilitates
Rick B. Sep 18, 2016
Presentation of the course was excellent !!! When I left the course I discussed it with our team and didn't really see all that I had learned. When I arrived at work this morning and went through My daily meetings it was then that I seen things that were course related that I drew from . As the day went on I came across more situations that my response was different because of the lessons learned .
Past Participant, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Sep 16, 2016
Salima was an excellent facilitator. She was very passionate and that came through in her teaching. I learned a lot that I can apply to my current role. I will recommend CMC to my fellow colleagues and friends.

Enjoyed the course. Bruce was a great facilitator and communicator. He provided personal examples of the course content put into action. Liked his "top ten" activities when we returned from a break. Good way to get the energy up in the room!
It was nice to have a training room with windows - I found it was easier to focus on the course material.
Past Participant, Legislative Assembly of Ontario ("The Leg") Jun 16, 2016
Could this have been a one-day course? Possibly, but it would have been rushed. Bruce is an excellent instructor and I found this to be a very inspiring experience.
