I found such value in the Powerful Presentations course ...
Lynn Falconer - Artist
The course taught me how to create a workshop that is a full experience. It leaves the participants with more than simply knowledge about the topic. They are left with a transformed relationship to art and creativity that they can apply to any area of their lives.
Over the course of the workshop, I was able to design every element of my own course, from the way I set up the room, to the instructional material, break time, ambiance, materials and snacks, and, most importantly, how I actually communicate with the participants.
