Testimonials (5)
Linking back the knowledge to the actual work we do on a daily basis - even if we used some simpler life examples, the trainer was challenging us to think of our daily responsibilities and explore it in this field. Content wise I think I liked the communication with different types of clients most - goal/problem and general/specific as mentioned before
