“Leader’s Edge taught me that the best in leadership relies heavily on teamwork and continuous improvements that can only be gained through listening and always wanting to learn something new. ”
“The thought provoking small-group sessions were an essential component of my professional development. The program has been well worth the time and financial investments. ”
“This program exceeded my expectations! Not only did I learn more about leadership from the instructors, but I also learned form amazing procurement professionals. It was an amazing experience, and I am so thankful to NIGP, the instructors, and each procurement professional in the class, that I was able to be part of this program. ”
“Despite the challenges and unknown obstacles that arose during the program (COVID, quarantine, work from home, ... the ever-changing world), I felt reassured to know that I was surrounded (even if virtually) by a group of people who I could turn to for questions, ideas, answers, and support while we were each experiencing changes within our world and work environment. Leader’s Edge was (is) a constant additional resource that adds a value beyond traditional networking at seminars or similar events. ”
