Program Testimonial

"Being fresh out of college and new to the company, I was unsure of my responsibilities as a Project Manager. The Management Training Program exposed me to several other managers in the community from various industries, all seeking similar direction. Through self-assessment and honest critiques, I learned that improving my communication and leadership style had a huge impact on my relationships with co-workers and clients. Michael and his team helped me to recognize and define my role within my company. Because Collaboration is also a growing company, I was able to relate to their personal experiences and respect their professional opinion. The Collaboration team will continue to serve as a valuable resource to me now and in the future."

Program Testimonial

"I have been wholeheartedly impressed with my experience in Collaboration's Management Training Program. Jennifer Porcher, VP of Educational Services, has developed a strong curriculum for this course that is innovative, progressive, and truly leadership-focused in what has traditionally been a "management-based" society. Both Michael Gunther's (President and co-facilitator) corporate experience and Jennifer's exemplary business consulting and facilitation skills have made this program one that has not only helped me to become a fundamentally more effective manager, but one that has also unquestionably grown my personal leadership skills as the General Manager of a rapidly growing Club in the Health and Fitness industry."
