The Developing The Leader Within Workshop that Dr. Nicole Rankine presented to the Programs Leadership Team at Communities In Schools of Atlanta was engaging and thought-provoking. The content was informative and the presentation format well-organized. My team members felt that she clearly articulated that leadership is essential from all members of a team, to build a high performing that has influence and is impactful. This is our 3rd time engaging Dr. Nicole and she is always aligned with our organization's goal to develop the leader in all of our staff, no matter the title or position.

Interactions in a Zoom session are difficult to pull off. I teach remotely and I appreciated the effort by the presenter. Dr. Nicole had a monumental task with 74+ remote attendees. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from the presenter. Thanks for offering me the opportunity to participate.
