The class was a homerun! Motivating and encouraging.
The best leadership class I have ever attended, and I have attended quite a few. As the sheriff in ********, I will be bringing Dr.DeParis and his team to my agency (1200 personnel)
Dr. DeParis and his associates know their stuff. Unlike many police leadership courses I have attended that consisted of nothing more than opinions and platitudes, this course used modern concepts and applied them directly to law enforcement. In addition, they were able to explain the why and how, rather than taking a "you just should do it this way" approach that I have heard all too often. Excellent in every way.
For the first time in a leadership class an instructor differentiated management and leadership skills, but the need for a variety of styles as well.
Dr. DeParis brought in great side-bar theories/models to make the material flow. Great job!
As part of management, Dr.DeParis' techniques and information will be a tremendous help in my job.
This subject matter was clearly relevant to my current position and I can put it to positive use immediately upon my return to work.
Dr. DeParis did a great job of presenting what could have been very dry material in an interesting and fun way.
Dr. DeParis was an excellent instuctor, very knowledgeable, references subject matter, and interacts with students very well.
Dr. DeParis did an outstanding job! He was easy to understand and made learning fun.
Very energetic, kept the session motivated. Very practical, reality-based scenarios.
Dr. DeParis is an excellent instructor. Using his wit and sense of humor made the learning process very enjoyable and his delivery of information is excellent. He covers the topic at hand, ensures it is understood, and carefully ties that subject together with other topics in the course,
This course has opened my eyes to the process of leadership and will greatly assist me as I work with my subordinates, peers, and superiors.
I am in my first term as sheriff and am taking my agency through a complete restructuring. After attending this seminar, I will be contracting with Dr. DeParis to train my entire supervisory and leadership staff in strategic leadership. I have not encountered any company that presents the material in such a cohesive manner.
The instructors refreshed my defeatist attitude about certain employees and provided clear guidance on how to deal with difficult people issues.
Excellent presentation which allows all concepts to be integrated into my hands for daily use.
