One of the practical applications that I really benefited from because I, I mean, I may not have known myself, Engineer Ahmed Sabry Hafiz, Manager of Remunerations Planning, among my work tasks, I work with four international unions. When I entered the program, I benefited from it and the hands, that I deal with the unions in a better and improved way. And I actually applied it in one of the international unions that deals with Saudi Airlines employees outside the Kingdom. Thank God, I found great success and we achieved achievement and we worked approximately seventy percent in salaries within the Leaders program at the International Training Company, which I honestly consider. From the program, I benefited greatly, especially in the coaching stages, in the stages with and benefiting and learning from their experiences and the experiences of course of the doctors and lecturers who provide it to us. May God reward you a thousand times.

It was one of the best experiences that strengthened my leadership skills, and honestly I benefited and felt that I was capable of making decisions in scientific situations and working with a different team. This was very distinctive in the program, this is different in this program from other programs. Here we apply the things we learn whether through the actions we take or what we do in this part, everything we find in all the training here. Once we were focused on this part and this is what I liked most and benefited from the most. Because it helped me make a decision in my professional life in a way that really helped me, I mean honestly I learned it and the training in general helped me make a decision to transfer to another department. I mean it was difficult for me and I thought a lot. But as soon as I took the module and studied it well, I knew how to organize my thoughts and made the right decision. Thank you very much. I benefited greatly. And even if I had the opportunity to repeat the experience again, I wouldn’t hesitate.
