I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I have grown so much from taking the personality profile and from the introduction to "emotional intelligence". The activities, lessons and homework assignments have helped me narrow down what I will most likely pursue. And I have my resume and dark suit ready for my interview. The workshops helped raise my confidence level and focus my attention on what I need to do to obtain meaningful work! Jane |
