I appreciated the quality of the presentation and the quality of the people in the small group (4 people). The discussions between us were very rich and the facilitator succeeded in adapting the training to our specific cases. It was very rewarding and it's enabling me to continue to 'move forward' and progress. It was a very good course and a very good facilitator. Thank you
