What our clients are saying... A student perspective

Holly Vokey, Senior Buyer Specialist

and participant in PIECES program delivered with the City of Chilliwack

“The course, Leading the Way, was insightful and helped me learn more about my own personality and management style. I’ll be able to use that to communicate better with co-workers, and people in general. The instructor was well prepared and had real life experiences to share with us. I found it easy to relate and learn in her class. This was a great course!”
