"I am amazed how quickly I can take observations from the classroom and immediately put them into daily practices in my professional life. The Master's in Organizational Leadership has exposed me to different leadership practices and theories, but it has helped me hone skills like active listening, leaning into dialogue (not debate), and maintaining presence in the moment."
