Chris Comeaux states, “TU just graduated the participants in its third class and has a full class registered for its fourth year beginning January of 2023.  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 Certification 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 right on point to how TU was designed, and it is wonderful to see our great vision coming to fruition with each new class of leaders.  Congratulations to our 2022 Teleios University course graduates,” continued Comeaux.
