- “My deep and most sincere thanks for the professionalism, expertise, rich materials, and honest feedback that you brought to the course this week.

- “I read a quote from Google’s Sr VP of People Operations: ‘The only training you [as a company] should invest in is training that changes behavior.’ I attended the Facilitation Training workshop that Terrence Metz and the MG Rush Company hosted.
