I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we enjoyed the Train the Trainer program that we completed this week. Paula, you are absolutely delightful, personable and easy to like. You continuously demonstrated the techniques you were teaching us in a very effective way. The material covered was a great combination of theory and practice. We gained a lot of knowledge about how adults learn, but also excellent practical tools for developing training programs. I'm confident that we will all be better trainers for this experience.
