“After participating in the 4-day regional management development program designed and facilitated by Pavel Mischenko, Managing Partner of Leader Talent, I felt that my confidence as a leader grew significantly, and, more importantly, I learned much-needed practical management tools for our day-to-day business. Shortly after graduating, my leadership skills were seriously tested. My team faced an emergency with an unexpected change in operations and a potential loss of customers if not managed successfully. Using the knowledge gained in the Leader Talent program and my increased confidence in leadership helped me and my team and adapt quickly to the new situation and manage it collaboratively, without losing sight of our customers' needs. As a result, the company achieved significant cost savings and kept a major customer satisfied. Soon after and with the experience gained I was able to get a promotion within the company."

“Before I participated in the Leader Talent Management Development program as a regional pricing specialist at the time - I used to not really pay attention to what my sales colleagues were saying about particular aspects of the potential business deals, and that often created unnecessary conflicts between us as a result we were losing lucrative client contracts. Also, that attitude would force them to start skipping me and go directly to my boss which also created unnecessary stress. Now after I acquired communication skills at the Leader Talent program - I started to use active listening to really try to understand them, I pay attention to them not only on the surface but really getting constant feedback from them during the conversations to further understand them and the client’s requests, that has really helped me understand the market better and we’ve been able to close better sales together. Also, they started to pay more attention to my suggestions as well. I found the Leader Talent Management Program to be very helpful both in my personal and professional life, I can apply all skills in both environments. To me it has really helped professionally because I’ve been able to work together with others much better than before and even though our personalities cannot change, I can detect the way I need to communicate with others and can have a much more appropriate conversation."
