I learned so much about myself through taking this course. I left a great job at a wonderful company and took a new job at a new company purely because of the toxic leadership, the bullying, and the poor leadership style I worked under. Most of my coworkers barely lasted a few months and there was terrible turnover. I took a new position with a big paycut on the potential of earning a leadership position that I did not earn after my first 5 month evaluation. I have 6 more months to earn that re-evaluation and morally and mentally it has been beyond hard and I have been wishing I could go back to the toxic job and the weekly bullying and threats from my previous director just so that I can afford to pay my bills. It has been so hard to know I would trade a place where my team is great and respectful for a job where I was constantly verbally abused for money. The first class I am required to take is this one. And if I do not earn this promothion and end up having to look for a new job again - I can take these skills I am learning now and hope and pray I earn the right to be paid well and treated well wherever I end up next. So I am so appreciateve of this learning setting look forward to taking the 4 additional assigned courses.
