Verificado @gmail.comI attended the Emerging Leader virtual course, and LIVE2LEAD. Both programs were of the highest quality and I have recommended them to colleagues. I have been in the Human Resource field for over 20 years, and in several leadership roles. There is always something new to learn and Dove Development & Consulting provides this in very effective ways. I will continue to seek out their programs and highly recommend them for Leadership training, no matter where you are as a leader (emerging through experienced) - there is something for everyone.

Verificado @atlanticunionbank.comI have worked with Wes and Cindy for about a year and a half now and they have done more to grow my leadership skills in that time than I can even begin to describe. The value that they bring to the table in absolutely incredible! My first introduction to them involved the DISC assessment and since then I have implemented DISC as a regular part of my onboarding process when hiring new team members. Another valuable lesson that Wes and Cindy shared with me was the power of Balancing Candor & Care with my team. If I know they are speaking at an event I do my best to attend. I always walk away with new wisdom and usually a few more entries on my list of books to read! This year was my first time attending Live2Lead, but I promise it won't be my last. If you are looking to grow personally in leadership, grow your team in leadership, or generally improve your workplace; look no further than Dove Development. They are authentic servant leaders with a passion for bettering the lives and leadership skills of those they meet. I would highly recommend that y7ou connect with Wes and Cindy, they will change your life and you will not regret it!
