Type Tools and Tips for Enhancing Decision Making – DVD Program

• “I enjoyed the review of the interplay with all of the functions and how they affect the decision making process.”
• “Hearing Katherine and Elizabeth present the case study as if they were telling a story about people from their office made the session very entertaining. It set the learning in a different environment—fun and engaging. I immediately began relating and recognizing those traits in myself and others I know.”
