What Attendees Say
“Tasha & Michelle presented the info brilliantly. Not only giving the info but examples as well. It was kept lively and interactive but not overwhelmingly so. Just brilliant.”
Margo Jacobs, TCS Education Systems
"The examples were great! It was informative and I will use the tips and techniques shared as a part of my everyday communications to improve my skill set. I especially enjoyed the part that said: Disagreements are not conflicts! I will remember that. Thank you!!"
Jennifer Hise, Saint Leo University
