- Treasurer/CFO/Business Manager
Thank you for the great EI learning experience provided through the Ohio School Leadership Institute recently. I have already applied many of the techniques and skills that you shared.
- Ohio School Superintendent
I believe that I have noticed a bigger change in the Leadership Team than myself……at least that’s what I first believed. Then, I looked and thought maybe I’m more aware now and noticing things that have always been there. I have found myself thinking about how I might be interpreted and interpreting others. The EI training is helping me take the edge off of a situation I am currently dealing with, and move toward a win-win solution. I would say to any group, team, etc. that you will truly Up Your Results when you up your awareness of the emotions that surround you.
- Elementary Principal
It will take your leadership skills to the next level by making you more aware of who you are “being”. Thanks for the opportunity to delve into who I am as a leader!
- Ohio School Superintendent
A life changing experience that I wish I could repeat! Thanks so much for the opportunity. Anyone thinking about doing this, think no more, just do it!
- Transportation Director
I truly benefited from the training. It helped me to focus on myself and the human side of our business. The experience helped me to develop more insights and skills to deal with my own emotions and the emotions of others. I will definitely be a better person and superintendent as a result of the training.
- Ohio School Superintendent
I strongly recommend that you consider participating in the training. I found it very beneficial in both my personal and professional life.
- High School Athletic Director
The "Engagement on Purpose" training program Rick provided our leadership team was superb. Understanding the dynamics of oneself as a leader and then engaging the community to support our schools put us in a position to lead rather than to react. I highly recommend Rick.
- Pennsylvania Superintendent
Rick's personal experience provided unique insights that would not have been possible from our other contacts. The fact that he has lived through the "Public Engagement" and school district referendum process in two states just added to the experiences he was able to share. He presented the material in an easy going fashion yet had specific content to cover that we could take with us. For a team retreat this approach encouraged dialog within the group, which given the number of new and relatively new members our team has, was most important.
- Pennsylvania Assistant Superintendent
You spoke from experience, which increases credibility. You often asked us to apply the information you presented to our own situation, increasing our engagement during the workshop.
- Elementary Principal (Pennsylvania)
Rick did an excellent job of presenting the public engagement and referendum planning information to us. Very "down-to-earth" and very useful.
- Asst. High School Principal (Pennsylvania)
Wonderful training. I know I can go back and better implement employee discipline with confidence.
- Supervisor
Rick Fenton's delivery of Employee Discipline was direct and to the point. The three days were engaging, helpful and very informative. Mr. Fenton's experience is evident; there is much to be learned from him.
- Elementary Principal
This program was very informative for all administrators and supervisors who deal with employee discipline. The “real life” examples made the information relevant and interesting. The presenter kept a pace that allowed for learning and mastery.
- Elementary Principal
I have found this program very informative. I have received valuable information regarding the discipline of employees, both certificated and classified. Mr. Fenton presents the material in an interesting format. The information presented will help the education community in which I work by cutting down on legal issues and keeping the school in which I work a positive environment.
