Before this class I knew nothing about emotional intelligence, open ended questions, or core values. The class taught by Lorraine was informative, eye opening and fun!! You have to be willing to let go of your preconceived notions and participate to make the class work. Ask questions!!

Who would ever think that being taught about Emotional Intelligence, Coaching & Feedback, Trust, etc. would actually result in fun, finding lifelong friendships, and finding a training coach that actually JUST GETS IT! Lorraine is phenomenal and works with you at your level then flips your world around to push you where you need to be. The world is a better place with her!

The group activities really drive home the principles being taught. The exercises and practicing really prepare individuals to be successful at using new techniques or tools outside of the training room. Incredible. Best leadership class I have taken. Lorraine was an amazing trainer. Her openness, genuineness, and humor really made the class gravitate towards her and promoted a great learning environment. Her life examples also greatly helped emphasize teaching moments. Lorraine is terrific at what she does!
