I found the review of the Five Habits: Building Cross-Cultural Competence most helpful and generally appreciate the rule-based review and comprehensiveness of the presentation.

I learned several key points to address within my client contract as well as tips on how to communicate with my clients.

Presenter was, to say the least, knowledgeable and engaging. When you listen to someone for three hours that is very helpful

Excellent speaker.
