I’m writing this note, moments after concluding my final session with Brad Douglas as my professional coach as a supplement to your offering of the ATTC Leadership Institute. I have gained so much from this coaching experience and from my relationship with Brad. I appreciate the ATTC paying for my time and wanted to let you all know that I highly recommend you continue offering this benefit of participating in the Leadership Institute and especially with Brad as a coach. I have gained confidence in my leadership, ideas for priority management and organizational growth, and support for being more intentional in engaging my work team members in developing and exercising their own leadership potential.

I don’t want you to stop holding the leadership institute. It is far too important and beneficial to stop impacting people. To me, it has been a gold mine.
