“Frontline had a large impact on the way i approached work and communicated with the workforce. The topics were well covered, easy to digest and relateable to most day to day activities on the job. Showing me how to breakdown complex activities and schedules into simpler and more manageable tasks as well as how to be a responsible leader made the class invaluable.”
