“MFTIO has been a huge success at Shady Maple Plaza. We have accelerated leadership, customer service, and communication skills with our Leadership Teams! People are learning how to coach effectively and leaders are inspired with the additional capacity to raise up emerging leaders. We even had a leader in his late 60’s take this course for the first time and made the comment ‘Wow, this stuff really works! I wish I would have taken this 30 years ago.”
