Testimonials

The AGC Breakthrough Training was exciting, engaging and most importantly eye opening for me as a developing leader. The course provides opportunities that challenge your senses in ways that force you to identify certain qualities about yourself, both good and bad. These qualities can be a surprise, but for me were important to identify. Thanks to this course I am learning how to be a more effective leader and team player within my organization.

“I was very skeptical of taking this class as I had been through several training scenarios in the past that were less than helpful to my career. However, this class was very different. Jeffrey’s unique training style keeps you attentive
and involved. These modules will not only help me in my professional career but my personal life as well. I am very glad I participated in this and would highly recommend anyone at any level of management to take this leadership
training.
