What Our Clients Say

Wake Point Talent Management delivered an exceptional workshop on Leadership and Influence for our graduate students at Winston-Salem State University. The session was engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to the challenges emerging leaders face today. Our students walked away more confident, more self-aware, and better equipped to lead with purpose. I was especially impressed with the facilitator’s ability to connect with students from diverse disciplines and spark real, actionable insight. We look forward to inviting Wake Point Talent Management back for future programming.

Leadership is not a linear path, it’s a journey of growth, service, and self-awareness. This workshop reminded me of the power of being a servant leader and leading with purpose. I truly appreciated how the speaker broke down different leadership styles and helped us explore what it means to be an effective, authentic leader in our own roles.

Coordinator of Graduate Student Services

Dr. Scales’ Leadership and Influence workshop helped our students see leadership as a journey rooted in service, self-awareness, and purpose. Many left feeling more confident and better prepared to lead authentically. This workshop broke down leadership styles in a way that felt real and applicable. I gained practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to lead with influence and purpose in my own role.
