Marcelo Castro, Supervisor of Respiratory Care | Caritas Holy Family Hospital
"The pivotal point of attending a three-day seminar with Dianne Durkin as part of my MBA studies at Plymouth State University, was realizing I was not what I perceived myself to be as a supervisor. I took the class because I needed to learn how to deal with two employees who were having performance issues – the seminar provided me with concrete, results-driven management style directions and made me realize that my management was as much a problem as my staff. The internal change within me as a supervisor has changed everything around me. The staff takes me more seriously because I have established authority. I am respected and employees respect each other. Our workplace is now free of any negative behaviors.”
