Collaborative Leadership

“I am pleased with the results I experienced as a result of the UST Executive Education for Collaborative Leadership program. I attended the program alongside representatives from three other companies with whom we share resources and facilities; the relationships we built in one week at St. Thomas would have taken more than a year to develop at our Home Office. Along with the increased synergy, the knowledge gained in this program will benefit me and my organization for years to come. I highly recommend this program to any organization seeking to achieve greater results with their current staff.”

 “I was extremely happy with the Mini Master of Project Management program. Not only did it reinforce my technical abilities, but it advanced my soft skills involved with project management. The most unique aspect and greatest advantage of attending this program was being able to interact with individuals of similar professions from different industries. With all the various perspectives, it created a unique environment in which to participate. Both instructors were excellent and delivered a great experience; I learned so much! Over time, this program will be a significant aid to my job performance. I would absolutely recommend it to others.”

"A couple of years ago we identified the need to offer a program to build a core set of skills and tools for first level leaders in our company. Many of our first time supervisors have come from a background of science or engineering and while intelligent in their field, they lacked foundational competencies in leading people. We came to St. Thomas because of their sound reputation in developing business leaders. They were very flexible and did a great job customizing the course content to fit our specific needs.  The instructors were personable and highly competent in delivering the course at our business locations. Through our  partnership I'm happy to say we are about to offer this foundational program for the third time at our company."
