"I did not get what I had expected from the CEO Dialogue Workshop. I got something much better! I arrived expecting some 'new tools' for my 'administrative tool box', or maybe just expected to have some tools re-sharpened. What I received was a new way of thinking about leadership. For me, it is impossible to put what happened into words, but I am convinced that I will be a more effective leader because of the experience."
