Who Let the Dogs Out? Understanding People

Great leadership is all about people. And this course is all about understanding yourself and those around you. Find out if you’re a Pit Bull, Beagle, Golden Retriever or a Dalmatian. Once you understand what drives you and motivates others you will see all of your relationships changing. From how someone’s “breed” impacts who they shop to how they argue and resolve conflict, we’ve got it covered!
