[Trainer-talk] Free Trainer Evaluation Training

[Nancy Coffman]

Hi Kathy,

I just had to add one comment.  Thank you for what you do.  You provide good 
materials, good trainings and a lot of information to anyone who wants to 
and can take advantage of it.  That is all any of us can do.  You are 
appreciated.

Nancy Coffman

>> I've never claimed to be the only game in town for certifying trainers

>> The materials I advertise on this list and the one other that accepts my

>>
>> I'm sorry if anyone feels I've stepped on their toes by writing the

>>
>> Whatever other claims have been made such as my claiming to be the

>>
>> I appreciate David's support and, with his permission, will continue to

>> Any further personal opinions of the ilk stated in this thread will be

>>
>> I wish you all a wonderful week.
