Based on 5 reviews.Rachel was excellent! She managed the content flow, timing, and engagement of the class very well. The course includes value information and practical tools.
Instructor was very well-versed and knowledgeable. The small group size led to more conversation by all involved. Really helpful and practical tips on a subject that affects each of us in way way or another. Easy to apply ideas to my work.
