Hear what past participants say: 

"Coaching conversations with peers and coaches allowed us to see where we had room to improve and grow so as to become more beneficial as an employee and as part of a high-performing team. It provided us with the opportunity to get to the source of underperformance by generating a culture of feedback and continuous improvement. All this was achieved through a positive, supportive, and non-judgmental environment."
