What fellows have to say about past seminars: "I was most impressed with the structure of the program - how each speaker
built on what we'd learned from the prior ones - and how together we saw all
sides of issues I didn't realize were so complex (despite 20 years in the
business). I know this will allow me to ask better questions, and isn't that
what we all need to do better - ask the right questions and then listen."
- Kevin Carmody, Austin American-Statesman |
