| "Tim Elmore has served on my staff since 1983 and has worked with students even longer. He is able to help you wrap your arms around the subject of leadership. No one teaches leadership better than Tim Elmore. I recommend him as a teacher and a mentor.” Dr. John C. Maxwell / Founder of Injoy Group & EQUIP / Author of "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" |
| "Working with Growing Leaders and Tim Elmore has been a real positive for our Leadership Program at the University of South Carolina. I think Tim is on the cutting edge with delivering leadership development for undergraduate students. Tim is a valuable resource to our office and we consider him to be an expert in helping college students reach their leadership potential”. Dr. Clay Bolton / University of South Carolina / Former Associate Director for Student Involvement & Leadership | |
| “The training sessions in leadership and leadership development were outstanding. Each one was perfectly tailored to the group and had a lasting impact on students and staff alike. Candidly, there were some concerns among our staff that Growing Leaders may not be well suited to provide our college with leadership training because of their work with faith-based schools. The fact is Dr. Elmore’s presentations proved to be thoughtful, comprehensive, and universal in appeal. They were very appropriate for a multi-cultural state university, and our entire staff looks forward to having Dr. Elmore back on our campus in the near future.” Dr. Arnold G. Hyndman / Dean / Rutgers University | |
“I enthusiastically recommend Habitudes. Tim Elmore’s masterful usage of visual, cognitive and experiential learning tools makes Habitudes one of the best teaching tools available.” Dr. L. Keith Whitney / Chairperson of the Business Division / Pepperdine University | |
I would encourage schools and school districts to partner with Dr. Tim Elmore and Growing Leaders to help educators and students enhance their leadership skills. Dr. Elmore inspired our teacher leaders by making a personal connection with each of them and focusing on the application of “Habitudes” in everyday situations. The teachers left the workshop with concepts and skills to use in the classroom the next day! If educators want to improve the quality of leadership skills in students, the instruction provided by Dr. Elmore and the Growing Leaders team is a must.” Dr. Diane Ray / Assistant Director for Teacher Leader Development / Professional Association of Georgia Educators | |
“I believe leadership training is, indeed, priority one. I am delighted to see Growing Leaders pursue this worthwhile goal of equipping potential leaders on their college/seminary campus before they enter their ministry. It’s far better to build a fence at the top of the cliff than a hospital at the bottom.” Dr. Jay Kessler / Former President / Taylor University | |
| “Tim Elmore is a great communicator. His material is relevant and helpful. I believe you'll enjoy it like I have, as you grow as a leader and help others grow as well. I enjoyed these principles so much, I asked him to teach them to our entire staff.” Andy Stanley / Founder & Senior Pastor / North Point Community Church | |
“The Georgia Tech School of Engineering runs a very successful industry-student mentoring program. This is a result of dedicated participants and the mentor and mentee training they receive from Growing Leaders. The response from both the mentees and mentors has been enthusiastic. It is much more rewarding for all of us than we ever imagined it would be. Thanks for the excellent training!” Dr. Mary Lynn Realff / Director of Undergraduate Affairs / Georgia Tech | |
