I loved the course! The information was useful, it wasn't overwhelming, and the practice exercises were super helpful. Writing the scripts and working with the "Big 5" worksheet was a good practice. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed the challenge of writing the script and will definitely use the 5 point listening tool. I think I needed a re-boot and appreciate the stimulation and guidance
