"my first AMA class"
The facilitation, execution and feedback were excellent. This was my first AMA class and wasn't sure what to expect. The experience was great and the content will serve me in the years to come as I work to move upward in my organization. Communication is a key factor for me.

"Very insightful training"
Very insightful training. Although I went into the training already having the skills we learned about, I gained much more information on how to apply those skills to my day to day job functions to help me communicate better.
