What People Are Saying
I really enjoyed the workshops (Communication and Effective Meetings & Poise and Composure)! A lot of the content I felt was part of what I have already learned either at work or in other professional situations, but Kirsten R. (our trainer) presented the material really well and they both were engaging programs. It was nice to have some discussion with other attendees in the workshop, too, because there is always something new we can learn from our peers. Kirsten had great energy and a very positive attitude, and she was very enjoyable to listen to. Overall I really appreciated the workshops and thought that they reinforced certain strategies and tips to help enhance our professional presence. – Jenna Cardellicchio
