“The Leadership Training course was invaluable to increasing my knowledge and awareness as a manager. Irv is an incredibly gifted instructor with a depth of experience that is beyond belief! I would highly recommend this program to any person seeking to learn a new dimension for their management and leadership – they will be rewarded with the benefits of this class!
-Nicole Wilkins

“The time commitment for the course has been well worth it. Each week built upon the previous module which allowed for immediate application in the workplace. Positive results were achieved! It was a great series of classes and a tremendous certificate program.”
- Supervisor

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.
“The program (for manager) was successful in helping me to understand myself and how my behavior and leadership style are perceived by others. The course material was clear and concise, the concepts are solid and defined, and the instructors presented themselves well and kept the pace of the class upbeat. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to further themselves as a leader.”
- Wendy Vetter

“This material added a huge number of leadership “tools” to my “toolbox.” I know lots more about myself, the people I work with and how we interact. I have a contribution statement and now my team is building a contribution statement. For that alone I would recommend this program – but there was so much more!”
- Monte Krol

Boeing Realty Corporation
“I appreciated the specific examples of how to implement the habits and tools – especially how to manage myself and how to create win-win opportunities. I recommend that companies consider sending employees to this class before promoting them to a manager position.”

CompIQ Corporation
“The Chapman University Management Certificate Program has been a wonderful tool in assisting our new supervisors gain the knowledge they need to perform their new roles. As our company grew, we promoted from within, but our new supervisors had no experience being supervisors. This program definitely helped get them started on the right foot.”

Merit Property Management

Property Manager

“Great opportunity to get out of the office and brainstorm with other professionals. The class affords one the time to think about, review, and learn how to be a better manager. This is important because nobody ever has time to do this.” - 7 Habits for Managers

Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
“This was an excellent program that had a big impact on the way I work with my direct reports. I was able to apply the techniques and principles immediately. I have already realized results with my section managers due to asking questions and listening – coaching is very powerful! The instructors were fantastic – very knowledgeable and excellent teachers. I will be sending my HR Business Partners to the spring program.”
-Lisa Arosteguy-Brown,

“The Leadership Development certificate program is well structured and covered the strategic challenges of supervision. The instructor challenged the students to master our weakness.
