stars “Carol was great in teaching us about time management. Additionally, she encouraged engagement with each other, and to think outside the box. When we had questions that were outside the plan for the itinerary, she was able to address them appropriately, providing feedback that was well worth the cost of the class! Thank you so much for this valuable class!” Heather Osipowicz
