I liked trainer the most, surely the best i have yet had the pleasure to listen to. Has very big knowlage and experience, created good atmosphere during the training, i've never felt intimidated or scared to speak, had some really good discussions. i really like that we tried to base everything we talked about on our experiences, not only professional but also educational as well as personal experiences. I also liked the amount of methods presented and the fact that we tried to use every single one of them. I also liked that this training was remote, made it a lot easier for people who are worikg a day job to be able to be on time and be active. Thanks for recommendation of the book! I will most definitely try it :).
