Testi mo ni al s “This was one of the most beneficial and illuminating courses on development I have attended. In addition to enjoying every moment of curriculum and time with the instructors, it left me with life lessons that will drive me in both a personal and professional capacity.” - Eileen Braden, V.P. of Political Affairs and Federation Relations, U.S. Chamber of Commerce “Over the last 5 years, I have attended many “leadership development” courses. TLDG’s program stands alone as the most beneficial overall leadership excellence experience. The course’s exemplary faculty, focused content and overall layout was truly best in class. The group did a great job in condensing several critical leadership principles into five valuable didactic/ tactical sessions. I found value in every session and activity over the 3 day experience." - Joe Hauser, V.P. of the Trauma & Deformity Correction Business, OrthoPediatrics *If you are not able to attend this session, please consider the following 2016 open enrollment options: May 10-13 - “Women Leading from the Front Lines” August 9-12 - “Women Leading from the Front Lines” Battle-Tested Leadership Strategies For Executives: Lessons from the Army and West Point Agenda Tuesday, November 8 4:00 – 5:00 pm 5:00 – 8:30 pm Check in at The Historic Thayer Hotel at West Point Academy Kickoff and Dinner Wednesday, November 9 7:00 – 8:00 am 8:00 – 10:30 am 10:30 – 11:00 am 11:00 am – 1:00 pm 1:00 – 1:45 pm 1:45 - 2:00 pm 2:00 – 6:00 pm 6:00 - 7:00 pm 7:00 - 8:00 pm 8:00 pm Breakfast Enhancing Your Leadership Identity - BG (Ret.)
