"The Monrovia Fire Department has been given a road map to use within the organization to improve our collective leadership abilities, communication processes and coaching style, in an effort to enhance our business practices in an otherwise operationally-minded organization. We provide exceptional life safety and fire protection services to our community and now we have the ability to provide exceptional leadership services to our internal stakeholders - the firefighters themselves. The 'Leadership Boot Camp' program was like nothing I have experienced before and has given the Monrovia Fire Department the necessary jump start to continue on our path of excellence.
Christopher Donovan, Fire Chief
Monrovia Fire Department

"I found The Leader's Compass" to be a good way to help people get in touch with the idea of the personal leadership philosophy…It helps leaders really think about what they believe in. And writing down your beliefs keeps you honest. It also makes your expectations crystal clear to subordinates. People want leaders they can predict. They want to know, up front, what's valued and what's not. That's what the personal leadership philosophy does for you."
Robert McDonald, Vice Chairman
Procter & Gamble

"I give Academy Leadership my highest recommendation. The program offered a no- nonsense approach to leadership training and presented the material in easy to absorb format. The use of both recorded and written material was very beneficial for our busy and diverse group. The emphasis on practical application is already paying dividends. My team has never been as focused on the leadership fundamentals."
Peter O. Burghardt, Chief Operating Officer

"The Academy Leadership program was truly exceptional. Not only were we quickly motivated to focus on critical leadership skills, we were also introduced to applications that will provide immediate impact on our working together. There is consensus agreement on the results of our training now that we have a better understanding of ourselves but more importantly, a greater appreciation for each other. The program truly met the goal and expected outcome of 'know yourself and know your people.'"
Hugh Hortsman, Secretary
Southwest Airlines Pilots Association

Lutter, Inc.

"I used to schedule myself to death and wonder why I hadn't completed things that needed to be done. The scheduling tools that Academy Leadership introduced me to allow me to schedule quiet time for myself and to complete the high payoff tasks I need to do as well as my current project list. I now take time each morning to plan the entire day and am accomplishing much more, both personally and professionally."

"You grabbed all eleven hundred people right from the start and gave them terrific insights they can use immediately. They were still quoting you days later. This conference is of the biggest events we do all year, and selecting you as a keynote speaker was one of the best moves we made. Thanks for a great day, and we’re looking forward to working with you again."
Jeanette Slepian, President

"This was the best and most original seminar I’ve attended in years and was just what our team needed. I thought I had leadership figured out, but you showed me how to keep improving. Your powerful, memorable insights showed us what successful leaders do in real life, and—more importantly—how we can apply those same principles in our business. We left energized and, just as you promised, armed with the tools to get the job done."
