Participants' testimonials

This workshop was the best I have attended so far. The way the content and the mindset were conveyed was extremely good: comprehensibility, letting people finish, empathizing with the participants, etc. Big praise to the coaches, who were patient and understanding, always kept us together as a team and helped us back on the right track when we were lost - I really enjoyed it, thank you very much! Location, tools and theme - everything at its best!
