The Blueprint Group

“This leadership course had been the most enjoyable one I have participated in.”

“I felt engaged throughout all phases of this course.  My goal is to apply what I have learned in my day to day activities.  I need to be curious, ask questions and understand that my role as a leader can impact others. Asking the right questions and looking for the perspective of the other person has helped in my daily interactions.  It will enable me to allow my staff more opportunities to take more responsibility and ownership. It was very timely and I learned a lot.  Thank you Maureen!”
