COMMENTS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
The course was excellent. Bobbi helped me not only re-examine my space but also re-examine my priorities...At the end of the course you have a reference book -- much easier to refer to than the hastily hand-written notes taken during live seminars. (Angie Gallop, Toronto)
As a direct result of taking the Time Management Course I now use my limited time more effectively in all aspects of my life. (Hope Spencer, Comox, B.C.)
