What People are Saying...


"The program provided me with the opportunity to learn how to connect more and relate better to my employees, and provided me with tools to motivate them and help them be more effective". 

Paul Atang, CEO of Capital Care, Inc. in Silver Springs, MD


"I was impressed by the quality of leadership offered by Jane and Dina and by the exceptional quality of my classmates. Every breakout group, every conversation brought great value. I have never had a better online learning experience and I'm deeply grateful for our time together. It's a gift that will keep on giving".

Scott Woolridge, Associate Regional Minister, Christian Church


"I've been managing people for over a decade, both large and small teams. After taking a class in Positive Discipline, I found myself naturally tailoring some of the principles and applying them at work without really trying. To my surprise, the cooperation, collaboration, and dedication of my team increased. So, when I found out about the EPW program I was thrilled. The workshop didn't disappoint - the format was fun and engaging, the content was powerful, and the people in our cohort were wonderful. After the workshop, I developed some quick exercises using the EPW materials that could be immediately implemented into my established team meetings. It was so successful that I now get asked to conduct the exercises to other peer groups. And this time, I'm not so surprised that my already highly collaborative team is that much more engaged, positive, and productive. 

Farhana C., Sr. Vice President, Business Risk & Control Sr. Manager
