Thank you for the excellent leadership class. I learned so much and truly grew over this week. I’ve read all the material and plan to revisit different parts of it over the next six months to implement what I’ve learned in small, daily ways. I also plan to take the next leadership class in about six months.

I’ve taken many assessments. The IA Encompass is one was the most comprehensive and insightful regarding leadership. I really like using observation groups; they provide so much more than a self-assessment can.

Thanks, Dr. Radi, it was a pleasure having you; the training was amazing!!! We are still referencing what we learned during our session with you in April 🙂

Dr. Radi, Thank you for supporting the EDO School by participating in Senior Course. We greatly appreciate your flexibility and patience in executing this course. The participants always benefit from hearing from guest speakers with specialized experience, such as yours.

Absolutely outstanding! The course gave me the tools to create what was missing for me—the way forward. I now know what my brand is, how I want to present myself to the world, and what to work toward every single day. Thank you!

Excellent instructors and course materials. The blend of professional and personal leadership skills and strategies. And the student mix was perfect. We all learned from each other. Kudos to Robert and Karen!

I just wanted to thank you for putting on an excellent leadership workshop yesterday. The material and conversations were engaging and we received very positive feedback from our management team. We’re hoping to do some supplemental training next fiscal year so I will be in touch.

The instructor cares about the material, cares to make us even better, and cares that we absorb and put into practice the most important elements of the course. Amazing! Gifted! Passionate! Knowledgeable!

Dear Dr. Radi, I hope this message finds you well. I enjoyed your Frontline Supervisory Leadership class. Your insights and practical approaches to leadership have been invaluable.

It was very engaging and collaborative! Great course! I liked everything about the course. I thought it was great to have one on ones, breakout rooms and the video selections to demonstrate a topic were informative and interesting. It kept me engaged the whole time.

I felt Dr. Radi had excellent knowledge of the topic and his delivery made it easy to learn the topics. Also Dr. Smart was fantastic with her insight and demeanor, truly has a gift and living in her purpose. Dr. Radi had so many quotes he dropped, love that!

Dear Dr. Radi – On behalf of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service Mid-Atlantic Field Office, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you for planning and hosting a leadership workshop for the DCIS Mid-Atlantic Field Office management team. You did an outstanding job facilitating the course virtually, eliciting an engaging and stimulating conversation both during the course and afterward. The feedback we received was extremely positive.

The Facilitators and Cohort made the 5 days a relaxed learning environment and the materials taught will enrich my professional and personal life. I liked that in this class you really do get to change partners in the breakout rooms and get to know most of your classmates throughout the week. The facilitators are extremely prepared and skilled.

Amazing! Gifted! Passionate! Knowledgeable! Look, Robert cares about the material, cares to make us even better, cares that we absorb and put into practice the most important elements of the course while re-lighting our lamp so serve the American public to our best abilities, and lead our staff and all we work with too! IA, you have a winner!

Dr. Radi challenged my thought processes throughout the course and encouraged me to research beyond my understanding of some of the concepts, in order for me to continue my personal and professional development. He has raised my level of awareness regarding my current and potential leadership abilities. Further, Dr. Radi has encouraged and inspired me to reconsider my pursuit of graduate level education, for which I am most grateful.

Best aspects? The safe and trusting space created by Dr. Radi and Karen Conrad made the learning community environment so rich and meaningful. The perspectives on various leadership styles and attributes. I truly enjoyed all the components of this course and will be taking part 2.

Ms. Wang was a solid instructor who promoted an open learning environment. Charlotte did a great job of pulling in relevant comments from both current cadres of learners as well as experiences from previous classes into her comments and discussions. She was very inclusive and worked to ensure that even those who didn’t speak much during the class had their voices amplified through her comments.

The best aspects of the course include the breakout groups (peer learning helps w/ application) and the instructors. I identify as someone that is in a current state of burnout so for Robert and Karen to get high engagement out of me was remarkable.

The blend of professional and personal leadership skills and strategies. The Facilitators and Cohort made the 5 days a relaxed learning environment and the materials taught will enrich my professional and personal life.

There was a good balance of information, practice with the information and discussion time with others. The survey and the mentoring on how to improve from your survey findings. I also really like the questions that cause introspection: Why do you do what you do?

I liked that in this class you really do get to change partners in the breakout rooms and get to know most of your classmates throughout the week. The facilitators are extremely prepared and skilled.

Robert was amazing. His expertise is very clear in how he presents. Coaching was invaluable. Can’t say enough about it. The open discussions and sharing of experiences between participants.

Dr. Radi’s use of metaphors as a way to have participants make the management frames their own was very useful. The content is amazing, and the discussions with the cohort participants are very enriching. Dr. Radi is a fantastic instructor! He explained the material in a way we could understand and how we can use it in our work.

Dr. Radi explained the material in a way we could understand and how we can use it in our work. I think the interactions with my breakout team members were very helpful in giving me different perspectives either on my use case or how I was seeing the frame. The 360 assessment and coaching call were also super helpful.

Robert Radi and his clear passion to teach, inspire us to be greater than we think we are capable of being, and a class taught like a well-orchestrated musical. The pre-readings are excellent. And anticipating any system failures.

The instructors, Dr. Radi and Charlotte Wang, were very knowledgeable and interacted with peers. Interesting discussions and examples. I loved the small teams, and the content was relevant.

Dr. Radi is the best instructor I have ever had the privilege of taking a course from (I have had two) in my career as well as my formal education. He is knowledgeable, prepared, genuine, engaging, and thoughtful in his communication and presentation.

I liked the scientific evidence-based approach. The assessments were very valuable, especially for someone with good introspect. They provided me with insight as to why I’m struggling in certain areas and succeeding in others. The one-on-one break out groups were outstanding. Meeting Dr. Radi and Dr. Smart — They both have such great knowledge. Also, meeting other class members and learning about their experiences.

The 360 results formats, the blueprint/work sheet that populated info later, the presentation of material, the number and length of breakouts, the presentation material, etc. all of it, Dr. Radi’s material and presentation style are fabulous. Excellent!

The handout was awesome! easy to follow and very informative. Dr. Radi was fantastic too. Great teacher and leader made the room interactive but intriguing. the PDF “co-pilot” was immensely helpful. I enjoyed the break-outs. Speaking in front of the entire class would have been intimidating, but it was helpful to get feedback from one other person.

I will be transitioning my class project to actually making the case to HQ for our need for two additional positions to implement the BIL transportation program which will take place for the next five years. No guarantees but Dr. Radi’s coursework and my project will give me a stronger base from which to make my presentation. Just hope they listen and if not I might get Dr Radi to step in – just kidding. Seriously, you could tell the support he gave each of the students for the development of our projects. He was our biggest supporter!!

I was able to connect the class discussions more meaningfully to my current role. It’s a lot to be someone’s leader, manager, go-to person, coach, mentor, and more—it’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly.

Dr. Radi is an excellent instructor for this course. It is evident he has a wealth of knowledge and experiences that directly increase the value of the course. He is an excellent presenter and facilitator – he strikes a perfect balance of energy and motivation without being disingenuous or making quieter attendees feel uncomfortable. His coaching session was extremely value-added – he demonstrated a genuine interest in my leadership situation, and I walked away from the session with insights I would have never come to on my own. He is very accessible and flexible. I will highly recommend this course with him as the instructor to my peers and colleagues.
