The expertise of the dedicated faculty, the diversity and group dynamics of participants, provided for me a stronger understanding of the governance environment. New approaches to governance are discussed and the opportunity to reflect on your response around ethics, reputation and crisis management in the Module 5 Simulation is a value added approach to the learning environment. My leadership skills and courage to engage confidently at any board table has been enhanced by The Directors College.

I chose the DeGroote EMBA because I felt the program was best suited to help me develop the tools to succeed in today and tomorrow’s increasingly digital economy. The structure of four residencies and online modules has allowed me to continue my regular work without significant impact.

The Human Side of Organizational Change was highly valuable, practical, and had relevant content and activities.

The Directors College Chartered Director program provided me with the foundational basis for good governance learned through a collegial, interesting and expert manner. Understanding good governance is an important prerequisite for eligibility for many boards of directors and any board should consider this program as an essential part of their skills matrix.

Investing my time and resources to DeGroote’s EMBA is definitely aligned to my career aspirations as it balances my business experiences with the academic learning, research and insight. This combination allows me to better understand the full picture and acquire the executive tools and methodologies I need to be successful.

Today’s experience in Motivating for Results was insightful, informative and thought provoking. I learned a lot of information and left with tools I can use to apply my learning on the job. The instructor was engaging and well-spoken. Great experience.

Even as an experienced Director, I have found The Directors College Chartered Director program to be a very valuable opportunity to learn from strong faculty and fellow participants in an informed and current atmosphere. The program's approach to learning provides participants with a thoughtful combination of theoretical principles and practical experience as well as simulations that bring to light the variety of challenges that Directors might encounter in their work.

I was looking for a program that really focused on effective governance; the latest thinking that’s going to challenge me and allow me to bring more information to my role. The Chartered Director program, to me, was the most comprehensive and most encompassing.

As a McMaster graduate I was pleased to find DeGroote’s Executive Management Program offering. Over the past few years I have taken several courses and just recently received my Certificate of Completion Specializing in Leadership Development. As the Director of Human Resources I am eager to find programs that add to my own knowledge base... I found the facilitators to be highly skilled and engaging. The content is relevant, timely and evidence based. I highly recommend this program.

The Mindful Leader program needs to be experienced by executives and other managers.
