Location
Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management, Nashville, TNWhat Participants Say
I am a CEO with no formal CEO mentoring and training. I learned more in these two days than I have in 32 years.
[This program] made me conscious of my flaws and gave me the tools to create a strategy based on my strengths.
A great two days to reflect and refine your skills as a CEO or any other significant leader/influencer in your organization.
This course was challenging for me, and overwhelming in a very positive way. A lot of information and it was a great catalyst for my learning & development.
Rarely in my career have I had the opportunity to enjoy 3 informative, thoughtful, and insightful professionals! Well done!
Excellent, very practical, applicable information that is relevant, useful for CEO candidates or those working for CEOs.
Great insights from folks who “have been there” in a CEO role.
