Does anyone currently use LeaderGuide Pro? If so, can you let me know what you think of it and is it worth the expense. Also, can anyone let me know what other products that are similar to LeaderGuide Pro?

Thx.

I purchased it several months ago, but haven't had a real opportunity to use it yet. I like the basic template and use of icons. What I don't like is the visual presentation of it. To me the icons are a little cheesy and the template layout is not exactly my style. I think with time I'll be able to customize the icons and establish a better look with the tool, but I haven't had any time to work on it. So I've been using my old method. The only problem with my method is when my staff creates workbooks or leader's guides and trying to keep the look consistent.

I have to agree with LydiaS. I was not impressed with LeaderGuide Pro. I think it is very generic, and can produce very poor quality materials.

I originally looked into the software for a better (faster) alternative to my own materials - but quickly realized mine is head and shoulders above the software.

I have seen this type of post a few times. So, if anyone needs help creating materials, contact me and I will try to help you come up with a budget-conscious but aesthetically pleasing template.

I encourage you to take a free look at the latest version of my product. I think it addresses all of the concerns raised in these posts. If it doesn't please contact me directly ... I am the author of the product.
