Director, Project Manager Office, Health Plan of San Joaquin

I wanted to take a minute and recognize how much your coaching and your Skill Kit units have meant not only to me but our IT Department’s Leadership team.  Our CIO introduced us to you and your Skill Kits for Leaders, as a way for us to look at building strengths in our leadership abilities.  Each of the Directors and Managers on the IT Leadership team selected one SKL set they felt would help them improve in leading their teams, and the other was selected by our CIO. I have seen significant improvement in my leadership abilities around “Managing Conflict” and “Listening.”  These were the first of hopefully may skill sets I’ll use.  I’ve also seen improvement in my peer’s leadership abilities as well.  For me the key was to be fearless about improving myself and putting the “Practice Activities” of each SKL unit in action. Having exposure to your leadership coaching has also impacted and strengthened my abilities as a leader.  For anyone that wants to really become a more impactful leader, or progress in their career, I highly recommend working with Diane Foster and Associates.  I plan to continue my growth on this path by selecting more Skill units that will continue to make me a better leader.
