Read what Round #2 participant, Greg, had to say about his experience!
The class was so real from start to finish. It felt customized to each individual. When we were coached on correctable behavior or practices in our speeches, it was approached in a very respectable manner. Definitely glad I came.
Greg Marshall, TLU 455
