“The workshop you held on Friday was an amazing experience for me, personally. As you heard, the group LOVED you and the course, too. The tips you gave were so rock bottom common sense and keyed to human nature. As a result, they’re (1) easier to remember and (2) easier to practice and develop than other methods. Plus, your skills as an instructor/coach are superb. Please accept my deepest thanks.”
