The results we have seen from our participants are phenomenal. Here is some of the feedback we have received regarding the impact of this year-long Leadership Excellence Course: ‘This course helped me to identify my cause and purpose, and perhaps even more importantly, it has helped me develop the thinking tools that enable me to live my cause and purpose and to stay in the learning mode for the rest of my life. I can’t recommend this course highly enough.’ “This powerful testimony is exactly why we designed TU, and it is wonderful to see our great vision coming to fruition with each new class of leaders. Congratulations to our 2023 Teleios University Leadership Excellence graduates,” states Millicent Burke-Sinclair and Chris Comeaux.
