You'll walk away from this experiential class with techniques you can use to help others, and yourself, immediately.
Learn healthy and fun ways to handle your most challenging clients (and coworkers); leave work early on a Friday; enjoy some coffee, tea, and snacks; and learn with other people who also care deeply about their clients.
