Training Reviews
Recently, a group of our offices in Canada attended Frontline Training Solutions training on Foundation of Emotional Intelligence with Lorraine Medici. Our goal was assist our managers and our clients in supporting and encouraging their people through the COVID crisis so we could retain our staff and continue to grow despite the pandemic. Sometimes it is hard to assess whether the training you pay for has in fact achieved the goals you were seeking and was worth the investment. Our proof was that we did not close a single office and turnover during the pandemic was minimal for our offices and zero turnover in most of them. In addition we were able to help our clients to survive by keeping our employees engaged, hopeful and connected with their clients to pass on their ideas, enthusiasm, hopefulness and support. The result was not only did we survive the pandemic but we thrived and grew despite the obstacles we faced. Thanks Lorraine for a great training program and thank you Janis Petrini and Frontline Training Solutions for making this training available.
