After
nearly 30 years of facilitation I was both surprised
and pleased at the level of learning and number of new
insights I gained from this excellent teleclass. The
trainers modeled outstanding facilitation skills, and
the format was highly interactive and very engaging.
The teleclass was administered flawlessly and was customer
friendly. I'd recommend this class to anyone who wants
to become a better facilitator.--Mary Hoagland
