Testimonials

The San Marcos Chamber of Commerce leadership training transformed how I think about what makes an effective leader. I learned that true leadership is built on character and competence, along with emotional intelligence. The training showed how good leaders don't dwell on past challenges, but use those experiences as stepping stones toward future growth. The most valuable part was learning how to work with and listen to team members to make thoughtful, well-informed decisions. - Junior Yono, Sig Parser

I walked away with relevant, digestible takeaways that have already made a positive impact on me as a leader, both at work and at home. The presenters were knowledgeable, top-notch speakers and facilitators that served up a wealth of information from years of personal stories, career experiences, and lessons learned from leading in a variety of industries. The sessions on overcoming adversity and cultivating resilience, emotional intelligence, and collaborative leadership were especially impactful. I promise that if you take part, you're going to hear from men and women that are passionate about helping you become the best leader you can be. - Quinton Hufferd, Management Analyst, City of San Marcos - 2024

I highly recommend The San Marcos Chamber’s Leadership Program to anyone in business or a leadership role. This intensive 5-week program was packed with valuable topics that can be applied in daily life, including Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Collaborative Leadership, and Overcoming Adversity.

Each topic was directly relevant to both my personal and professional growth. The facilitators did an excellent job presenting the material in an engaging, accessible way that made it easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. This program is a true confidence booster and provides essential tools for becoming a more effective leader. It’s a worthwhile investment in yourself! Not to mention, you’ll also be networking with other business owners and leaders in the community. - Pierre Dion, Brio Advisors dba Schooley Mitchell – Strategic Partner
