Participant Takeaways

Had a great instructor that gave me the opportunity to learn and have fun along the way. I was able to ask questions and get clear answers from her.

Rachel F.

Absolutely wonderful trainer. She was animated and engaging and made 3 hours fly by! Her added tidbits of knowledge from her own personal experiences made us feel connected - that she'd been in or shoes. Helpful tips, self awareness, transferable skills and validation of the complex job we do and people we deal with was what you obtain from this course. Would highly recommend . Thank you!

Janis A.

Trainer was great! She made the training very interesting. I love that she used examples from real life that I could relate to.

Allison B.

I am looking forward to attending other available courses!

Minerva U.

FAQs

How does a virtual seminar work?

A virtual seminar is a live, instructor-led experience. One or two days before the actual date of your seminar (also referred to as a course or workshop), you’ll receive an email with a link and a unique registration ID you’ll use to connect to the training. It will also include an additional link to the course materials along with any additional instructions you’ll need.

About 15 minutes before the scheduled start of your workshop, you’ll be able to log on from your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone and join the event. Your unique registration ID may only be used once.

To ensure you have the best experience possible, please make sure your system has the necessary components. You can check your system now by following this link: Click here. Note: Please disable any pop-up blockers before testing your system.
