I recently sat down one of our past Peak Performance Leadership participants, Mario Vidalon. Mario is the director of the University of Colorado's Center for Advanced Engineering and Technology Education (CAETE). However a mouthful, CAETE is one of Boulder's most impressive Centers for Excellence, offering numerous masters degrees to students in every corner of the globe. Currently, Mario and his team are using digital technology to educate US soldiers in Iraq and oil workers in Venezuela (among others).
Mario has held an executive leadership position for over 15 years, which begs the question: Why was he compelled to take our PPL course? According to Mario, he's "constantly looking for new learning opportunities and self-renewal." Jim LoPresti, professor of Peak Performance, provided just that - a chance for participants to critically look at their leadership style, the role of servant leadership in everyday life, as well as general self-awareness. Mario pointed out that Jim was a "great presenter, but an even better listener, which to [Mario] is half the battle."
Peak Performance Leadership is one of our most sought-after courses, aimed toward mid- to senior-level managers who want to develop an authentic, strengths-based management philosophy. Our next session of PPL is coming up in January '10; for more information visit our website, or shoot us an e-mail.
