    The ICALS course was quite an eye opener for me (thought before now I am a super leader). The course content is deep and incisive. There is just no limit to the new things one could learn in life. The course instructor was just excellent! He has complete grip of what he taught. The materials he presented were well made and very robust. I just will have to find time to go through them again with the notes I made. The organization was very perfect and flawless. This is the truth, coming from me – I have attended so many international courses. It’s really been nice dealing with LEORON Group. Well done all!. -LOJ ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LIMITED & LOJ ENERGY SERVICES NIGERIA LIMITED

    Great learning experience, great informative course. Dr. Morse is a great instructor with extensively high leadership knowledge level, great positive attitude, best debater of all times and high ability of cultural, religion, societal and social background acceptance. The course in general is very rich and adds value to every person, especially when it comes to experiencing different opinions from different people who work in different places and play different roles, people who come from different cultural and experience backgrounds. Diversity of the attendees makes it much valuable. Interaction of participants enriches the contents of the course and takes it to the other level of thinking and analyzing things from a different prospective. A course worth to join not only for senior managers and leaders but for every person who is eager to add value to him/herself hence to the community and the surrounding environment. LEORONs routine seems to be their customer satisfaction and continuous development. They are professional, humble, and customer satisfaction oriented rather than profit rising focused, which I believe will take them to the top level around the globe in their business area. All the best to LEORON team members, and all the best to the candidates who are looking forward to keep their knowledge up to date. I am looking forward to have more of such great experiences with LEORON... -Al Ain Club SG
