WHAT PAST ATTENDEES​ HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE FRONTLINE SUPERVISOR TRAINING...

The speaker was amazing! He was engaging and he was real. I felt very comfortable the entire time. I took away from it actual information that could be utilized in my program. Probably the best training I have attended!
I believe I learned a lot of new information in this training that I didn't know before. I learned new ways to approach the DSPs and provide them assistance. I was very impressed by all the statistics that were shown during the training.
The presenter was engaging, entertaining, and presented tangible information that can easily be applied and worked into our organization.
John presented beyond expectation. He was easy to follow along with and had amazing energy that really captivated the audiences attention.
I very much enjoyed learning from John's experience. His passion for serving people with development disabilities and DSP's shined through the entire presentation.
The Instructor/Presenter was by far the best Presenter I have seen in years. He was engaging, witty, and down to earth. He was very knowledgeable and an expertise in his field.
I loved John's personality and how much passion and enthusiasm he had for the materials he was teaching about, he was very entertaining the whole time and kept my attention throughout the whole training. I would definitely recommend one of his trainings to anyone in the DSP/QIDP field.
