“As a result of FranklinCovey courses, I have seen co-workers and employees transform from frightened, nervous individuals into confident speakers who share a well-designed message. I have seen confidence blossom. I have seen employees improve their writing and presentation skills. I have witnessed leaders start holding effective one-on-ones with their team members. To learn these skills and practices in college- before one ever enters the workforce would be incredible and so helpful.”
