What Our Clients Are Saying

"Before I took the CALM program, I felt uncertain as a supervisor. I struggled to deal with high-conflict staff members, and felt insecure about my management abilities. When executive leadership arranged the CALM training for all the leaders in my unit, I worried that it would be theoretical and not anything I could apply in my role. Boy, was I wrong! Kathryn’s training was completely practical, based on real-world techniques, and everything I learned I could immediately apply with my staff. I learned how to set healthy boundaries, which stopped me from feeling overstretched. I learned not only how to deal with high-conflict staff, but how to channel their energy into higher levels of performance. I learned how to increase my staff’s engagement in their work, which has made them happier and more productive in their roles. I feel confident about my abilities and skills now, and much more content in my job. I recommend the CALM program to all the other managers at my firm, whether they’ve been leading for one month or 10 years. I could not recommend it more highly!"
