"Jane, when we asked participants what they liked most about the program, we got responses like… 'presenters' knowledge about content' 'subject matter was very well covered'; 'Concise -  to the point presentations - excellent application.' Thank you for being a part of this program. You gave the participants not only a new way of managing performance, but also a new perspective on their employees. Thanks again."
