Client Reflection
“What I noted to my people is that it is not the academic/intellectual understanding that separates the Hayes approach – it is their basic compassion and humanity that they bring to the discussion. One really can manage in a principled environment, even when you have to make tough decisions, and Hayes communicates that in both direct and indirect ways. I have a lot of people who I believe could profit from exposure or reinforcement of this workshop.”
Mark Evans Business Unit, V.P.
