This training was excellent, possibly the most thought-provoking ethics course I've taken. It provides a lot of material that is well-presented and would benefit everyone. My rating of "fantastic" may be hyperbole. "Outstanding" is a better descriptor. To the presenter: I would surely enroll if you offered a three-hour college course on this topic. Thanks for a worthwhile continuing education experience. Mike K.
