Lew was such a knowledgeable speaker, I could listen to her all day. The information was valuable and I can start using it tomorrow.
It was one of the more interesting courses I have taken!
Very credible and her passion came through. Lew engaged the group effectively and left me wanting to learn more about the topic.
Lew was dynamic, fun, easy to ask questions, didn’t restrict the conversation. She had lots of real-world examples for us and kept us engaged with activities
Great job. I’d like to hire her to come to the studios and provide this knowledge to my staff
