"RLF provided me with a unique platform, creating awareness around leadership areas that needed refinement. Through mentorship and insightful sessions, I honed my communication skills, learned to navigate complex leadership challenges, and developed the confidence needed to command a room with authenticity. RLF has been a catalyst for profound personal and professional growth, and the strategic insights gained have been invaluable in my authoring a new book on leadership ... Stop Trying To Be A Leader."

“When I was about two-thirds through RLF I was asked to take over a new team of nearly 200 people. Thanks to what I was learning and applying through RLF and the lessons learned from the book discussions, I focused on listening, understanding various points of view and receiving feedback from all of the business and technology partners. Over the next 3 years, I was able to help change the culture and business partner relationships, as well as increase the trust level and foster a more positive tone and higher energy level throughout the team. The RLF experience truly made me pause, reflect, and consider the way I take on any new assignment -- including my most recent promotion to Vice President. Without RLF, I know I wouldn't be where I am today.“

"RLF certainly changed the trajectory of my career, with my promotion to VP the following year and all subsequent opportunities a direct result of my participation in the program. The RLF experience instilled the business, networking, and strategic thinking skills that continue to be my guiding principles of authentic leadership. The practices of self awareness, and taking the time to ponder and reflect, developed a core attachment to and understanding of my own values and life goals. I continue to recommend and send others to RLF -- both IT and Operations professionals -- and watch with delight as they're transformed into greater leaders, as they give back to their teams and the organization, and blossom into their potential as human beings. RLF truly is a refreshingly hopeful and positively-focused experience."

“At a pivotal place in my career, a mentor and friend recommended me to participate in SIM's RLF program. After completing the final session, I walked out with a fresh view on leadership, relationships -- and, most importantly, myself. The books, activities and discussions were great ... but what I learned from the people (facilitators and fellow RLF attendees) was incredible. The foundational principles and concepts I absorbed during RLF have definitely enhanced my professional opportunities. More importantly, they have enhanced my ability to enjoy my career."
