"I was disgusted with myself for having committed two of my days off to training just before my daughter's wedding, when my 'Honey Do This' list was a mile long - and I had a big deadline! My frame of mind was not good. But I do not recall ever having been fully engaged - and I mean every minute - in any training session, not even a halfday. But there I was, looking forward to getting back to Effective Negotiations again the next morning. Great class! Thank you! I'd like to offer it to my entire staff here at the District." (Note: He did.) ~ Dave Requa, District Engineer, Contra Costa Water District, CA
