Great course from which I would expect new and experienced facilitators would learn. Appropriate pace and mix of emotional vs. functional concepts delivered with great style and expertise that modeled the concepts being taught well.

I appreciated the style of delivery and specifically the flexibility to tailor the content to our needs. This was, of course, walking the walk of the content itself, which is very important for me.
