Success Stories

Here's a sample of various participant responses to the question: "What did you find MOST valuable about these courses?"

Project Management – Tools, Principles, Practices

"I have found the material covered in this course to be extremely useful. For someone who has had no formal training in project management, this class was a great starting point."

"Excellent instruction that built on my experience in PM and added new tools and perspectives. Provided realistic perspective and added the human perspective."

"This course was very useful for me, as I begin working more on large projects, now I have a sound foundation for defining and planning a project – key areas that could mean the success or failure of a project."

"I've actually learned something about project management that I can apply to my work!"

Whole Brain Project Management

"I have learned a lot about not only myself, but how to determine the thinking preferences of others. This course has provided me with valuable information I can take forward and use in all aspects of life."

"This course made me realize why I may struggle with parts of my current job and that I now know how to search for the correct people to help me."

"The class elucidated the common thinking preferences of the Hermann model, enabling me to enhance my group work with regards to communication, problem solving and motivation."

"I learned that it is better to utilize people in jobs where their strengths excel instead of trying to improve on their weaknesses."

Seminar on Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams"

"Freud is tough reading, but I really enjoyed the interaction with the other Encore students who want serious courses."
– Encore Participant

From the Page to the Stage

"I really enjoyed the part o the theatre Ed. Program where we did interactive games – would have preferred to hear more about the students and how these classes relate to the stage performances, etc. Please don't take this evaluation as negative, as I would take another class."
– Encore Participant

"This was a delightful course and informative. Having it at the Raleigh Little Theatre gave a much better picture of a production than if it were held in a McKimmon classroom."
