Byron did a great job of defining the issue, showing why it's important...

Provided new insight into Goleman's books. This should be put on CD ROM.

The slides had a lot of good information . . . value in the information being presented.

The topic is very pertinent. This is the word that needs to be spread throughout the workforce. Byron is a very talented presenter.

Good job making the session interactive with a very large group.

Build on next year and teach some techniques.

I thought it was going to be about my creating an effective leader and it was about make ME more effective which was great!! Change the title, but all in all the best session I've been to today!

Greater depth would be even more helpful!

I was expecting different information but really enjoyed what was presented. I have learned that I need to stop and think about what I am doing. Would like more information on how to implement in my company,

Great!

Looking forward to sharing this information with the HR staff. Thank you - excellent presentation.

Top notch.

This is an excellent workshop. I sincerely hope SHRM will consider offering this session next year. Could benefit from more time and then more in-depth coverage.

I think it is important.

I would like this made into a super session.. I would like to see it expanded on.

I would like to have more information on how to help our managers develop these skills.

Give us more information on how to transform. It's the most important piece.
