“The role play exercise w/ the talker, listener, and the ref was not completely clear. I thought it was just me but the others in my group were confused as well. The comment about the two or three days a month embarrassed me. Most people didn’t seem to mind but I don’t care for the word ‘sucks’ and ‘blew chunks’ even though it was funny, it kind of grossed me out, especially just after lunch. Overall, I thought it was the best training I’ve ever attended! It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me think and realize how truly lucky I am and what am I waiting for? I have the power to do it now! Thank you. I feel like you changed my life forever! Thank you!”
Tamara J. Hufford-Wong, Trainer – T.J. Originals
