Aram is an exceptional leadership trainer. He developed a two-day leadership program focused on high-performing teams for my group. From the beginning of our engagement, I was distinctly impressed with Aram’s inclination to listen first, and his ability to ask very insightful questions to understand our needs before proposing changes…
The team, with over 100 years of collective leadership experience, felt very enthusiastic about the program, but the real differentiator is that they internalized the topics we discussed and are already making tremendous progress on the changes we agreed to.
I credit Aram for that, a 100%.
