Excellent Course

 

"The principles of 80/20 have always resonated with me, which is also backed with scientific evidence. This course combined the 80/20 approach to training with coaching philosophy in perfect measures. The content was interesting, logically set out and concisely conveyed. The breakout tasks added further interest. Feedback on the assignment was thorough and have given me alot to think about  as I continue my coaching journey. I do hope for more training by 80/20 in the future."
