"Excellent course! I found the teachings and techniques so helpful and interesting that I finished the course in one day! Jon presents the information in a succinct and easy-to-understand form. I will definitely be returning from time to time to relisten as a reminder of the tools available to us when dealing with difficult people, or just to use in daily life as well. Thank you, Jon!"
