What people say

“BDC helped our leaders to develop an awareness of the mechanics of leading teams and the skills needed to do that well. In essence, our leaders have gained knowledge of the process: to stop and think, know what they need to do, have the skills to do it or engage others to assist where needed.”

Sarah Brown, Human Resources Manager, Cawthron Institute
