"The Center has been incredibly valuable for me as I become a more compassionate and empathetic worker, friend, husband, coach, and mentor. The skills I have learned and practiced, such as listening to the story within the story and asking powerful questions, add a dynamic and depth to life that is difficult to find in our fast-paced world. This course is something every person, no matter what their goals may be, will find valuable to live a more compassionate and fulfilling life."
- A.J. Reding, Sales Leader & Coach
"The Center provided me an opportunity to fully immerse in both personal and professional leadership development. I was able to deeply engage with the leveled course material as the curated foundational literature was aligned to developing my compassionate listening and ability to hear the "story in the story" as opposed to only listening to respond. Through its intentional dyad practice and mentored practicum experience, I was able to cultivate my listening and facilitation skills, foster calm compassionate confidence, and transform into a more effective leader."
- Wendy Tyree, Elementary Principal, Billings Public Schools, Billings, MT
"My experience with the Center has strengthened the way I approach leadership; not just as a set of skills, but as an intentional practice. One of the most meaningful takeaways for me was learning to be more reflective about how I show up for others and how effective leaders create space for people to grow. The certificate coursework gave me practical tools and opportunities to examine my own leadership experiences, while also learning from the perspectives of others. I have carried those lessons into my professional and community leadership roles, particularly in how I communicate with and develop others. The Center provides a valuable opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of leadership and intentionally become an better leader."
