Just a quick note to say that we completed our AST training session this afternoon and I could not have been more pleased. Thanks for all of your work behind the scenes. As I mentioned, the facilitator “knocked it out of the park”. In fact, I had numerous compliments about Chris and the fact that it “was the best training session that they had ever attended.” Thanks again for your leadership and you can rest assured that we are going to talk up this class with the rest of the organization.
Robert D.
Regional Director, Business Development – Food Manufacturing
They [CMOE] are a great vendor. Their instructors gain excellent rapport with all the students, agents, inspectors, and others. We are quite pleased and happy with our partnership with them. Coaching Skills is a super course and has the highest rating of all the courses we offer.
Ruth White.
Leadership Institute Program Manager
The High-Performance Teamwork program was such a great experience that my residents have asked when we will be doing it again. Our facilitator was even able to get my less interested residents engaged in the process. Given the success of this event, we have scheduled to hold another teambuilding workshop for me with my new group later this year.
Sarah S.
Residency Program Director – School of Medicine
I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for everything this weekend! It exceeded any expectation I had… by far. Every member of CMOE that we encountered was positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and eager to help us in any way they could. The training was an eye-opening experience that will benefit us all for years to come!
Taryn K.
Accounting Manager – Global Audit, Tax, and Consulting Firm
The leadership team had an excellent time. I am still hearing VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK from the entire company on the strategy simulation and the overall learnings. I don’t think I truly gave you all enough ‘props’ publicly when I took the mic but it really got people thinking and affirmed the things we are doing to create a high performance culture here.
Adrienne B
VP of HR – Global Investment Institution
I just wanted to thank you again for an absolutely phenomenal couple days of training. Trust me when I say I needed this course desperately, as I am far too operational and frankly in the weeds. This will help me be more strategic. I sincerely enjoyed my time with you and the group, and again cannot thank you enough for your time and energy.
Ryan C
District Manager – Transportation and Logistics
I want to thank you for your insightful presentation. I have attended other seminars that our company has provided over the years, and never before has one affected me as much as your Coaching Skills class. I feel that the skills of your presenter and the support materials are unmatched.
Andrew W
Team Leader – Multi-national Grocery Chain
I am thoroughly impressed by the Coaching TIPS2 program and the way you can coach different “types” of personalities and different professional levels. The practice scenarios helped me to discover where I can be a better coach.
Liu X
Sr. Talent & OD Director – Multi-national Telecommunications Company
The digital Supervisor Development program has been critical to our business as we’ve worked to fill our open leadership positions with our current workforce. After doing some analysis, I’ve found that those who complete the experience have a better transition to a leadership role, and on average they have an 18% lower turn-over over rate over the course of a year. This has been a life saver! Thanks.
Yvonne M.
SVP – Learning and Development – Aerospace Manufacturer
I wanted to reach out and let you know that I have received more positive feedback regarding the Team Alignment session. The group feels that this has helped us get to a healthy spot, air out some team issues, and rebuild those personal connections. It was just the reboot our team needed.
Dave G
COO – Fortune 500 – Facilities Management Provider
We have experienced a 16% increase in productivity for six straight years after implementing the Coaching Skills, Teamwork, and Facilitation Skills training programs from CMOE in alignment with their lean manufacturing principles.
Dave P
CEO – Hydraulics and Electronic Systems Manufacturer
How do I know that there has been a behavior change in the attendees? I’ve seen supervisors, who previously wouldn’t address difficult issues with employees, address these issues; end up with a plan for change; and obtain buy-in from the employees. They did this by using the skills and tools from CMOE’s workshop.
Cindy A. S.
Manager Employee Development – Insulation Materials Manufacturer
I wished I had this training when I began my management career 15 years ago.
Paola A
Sales Leader/Workshop Participant – Biotechnology Company
