I've never had the opportunity to benefit from good management, sales or other corporate training programs.

Fifteen years of law firm life didn't help; it's not that hard to manage highly educated and highly intelligent people who have already signed up for a hierarchical culture with high pay. The large companies I worked for had good training programs, but I was too busy working to attend.

And while some of the smaller company programs I've participated in have been great, the overall depth and breadth has been weak.
