This is one of the most beneficial courses I have taken. Great techiniques and an extremely talented staff! There is nothing but positive guidance on your work from coaches focused on strengthening skills and understanding. Eleven members of the Order of the Arrow amplified the talent in the room ( be aware, we didn’t spend much time in the room – we were outside capturing stories).
