“Wow…what a week!!!! Firstly, thank you for a great week. I’ve had the opportunity to attend several academic events to further my business skills, but never my people skills like last week. It truly made me sit back and reflect on what type of leader I’ve become…and what I want to be.”

“The coaching I received from David Jacobson has had a big impact on both the professional and personal side. It opened me up to better understand how I could be most effective professionally. David has a keen understanding of the challenges that many executives face in maintaining the proper focus and balance in managing their careers. I was particularly impressed with David’s ability to create a personalized program that provided me with tangible goals and techniques that I’m still following with great success today. ”

“I wanted to share some great feedback with you about the coaching and feedback session. I have to say that the GMM’s are just “gushing” about the feedback session. One Of the GMMs told me that she tried it out on a difficult feedback session that she had to conduct and it went “surprisingly well”.

“Rarely do you find a leadership program that delivers BOTH individual and organizational results simultaneously. The Front-line Leadership Academy did just that… Success at the individual level went far beyond exceptional program evaluation scores at the end of the week. We received dozens of notes from graduates that the Academy was “life-changing” for them in one way or another. Unsolicited employee feedback to managers regarding changes in a supervisor’s leadership abilities was overwhelming in both volume and quality. Our formal 360 degree feedback results 90 days after graduation also validated the improvement. The Wall Street Journal even featured a story on the uniqueness and success of our program. A global Front-line Leader Academy takes Dell one [giant] step closer to becoming a world class learning organization.”

“The Leadership Academy was a very visible example that we were willing and able to invest in our Front-line leaders and develop them to their fullest potential. For attendees: skills sets were expanded, interest and enthusiasm was heightened, relationships were built, usable learning was acquired and dedication to the team, group, operation and company was reinforced. I saw minds fully engaged….I saw people grow beyond their bounds…..I saw our company CARE…..and I saw a real investment in our future with our most important resources!”
