You get the opportunity to choose from a variety of the courses, really targeting what your team maybe needs most, or where there would be benefit in shared common understanding and learning.

It is important to understand the interconnectedness of these and other issues so that the implications of our everyday household and business decisions are understood in the right context.

Sustainability seems to be a buzz word these days. I hear it mentioned on the news, in advertisements, in general conversations, and in other unexpected facets of life. I would argue that the concept of Sustainability is vital in today’s world and to our future happiness. As a Global community we are dealing with big social and environmental issues. It is important to understand the interconnectedness of these and other issues so that the implications of our everyday household and business decisions are understood in the right context. What we do and don’t do matters.

Enrolling in the McMaster Continuing Education Sustainability program has been a wonderful way to develop an understanding of the practices of Sustainability, and what we can do to support real change. I encourage everyone to look into this program and to join the conversations being held all around you. Even if you don’t decide to take this program, look into the UN Sustainable Development Goals to start understanding the interconnectedness of things and how we as individuals and businesses can make a difference.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas in a future class!

My experience with McMaster Continuing Education was nothing short of excellent.

My experience with McMaster Continuing Education was nothing short of excellent. I took a course titled, ESS 813 Personal Leadership: Building from Our Strengths led by Lesley Calvin. Lesley provides great knowledge and dialogue that makes the group of students constantly think about ourselves and about how we interact with others. The course is designed to help us grow as leaders in the professional world, but I feel that it also helped me grow as a leader in my personal world. Right from the time the class started on day one, up to the end of class on day two, Lesley held the class’s attention and not only did she teach, but she took time to stop and listen and answer every question as the class progressed along. That is a rare quality in people nowadays. I was able to take some many excellent points away from this course and incorporate them into my everyday business life and personal life.

As president of both Burlington Paving Company Limited and Ancaster Court Surfaces Incorporated, I am proud to know that I can continue to grow in a positive direction towards being a better leader. Thank you, McMaster Continuing Education, for offering this course and I hope to take more courses from you in the future.

Get you the basics and understanding of how project management works.
