 Participant Comments: “I liked Tom's presentation the most; he’s very skilled at keeping the sessions very interactive and lively and his style encourages participation which enhanced the whole program. Tom was absolutely fantastic; he squeezed an awful lot of useful material into a relatively short time constraint. Excellent presentation skills, best I ever attended.”
