Success Stories
What Employee Trainees are saying:
“These classes have helped me personally in developing the skills needed to perform at a high level in my role. I am able to apply these learnings in both my professional and personal life.” -R. Carlton, Renovis Surgical Technologies
“(The trainer) is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the group exercises. Every moment is interesting and entertaining.” -P. Monge, NFI Industries
“Since being a part of (the leadership training) my mind set and viewpoints have changed. After the very first class, the next day I had an associate approach me upset and frustrated. Knowing what I had just learned the day before, I knew to let her vent, be empathetic, knowing that we don’t all think the same. Normally I would have told her what she wanted to hear and turn her away. Now I listen to what they are saying, what they need. I am learning to communicate with my peers with understanding and empathy. I applied effective listening as well. An associate approached me upset when I came to the shift because I never communicated to her what my expectation of her was. She is now aware. I took a few hours aside to come up with some things she could expect from me as well. My managers have all noticed a change in my tactics.” -C. Orantes, CTDI
