"I was already familiar with the book True North and liked the principles presented. However, the program goes way beyond the book. The combination of case study, group discussion and constructive feedback stimulates your thinking. I came away with a much clearer picture of the kind of leader I want to be, what I need to do to get there, and how to balance priorities. This program guides you through the introspection and self-correction that are essential for improving your leadership approach—and your life."
