My experience with the training were fasinating to a great extent, 40 days of training not all 8 hours, but gives us a great working action oriented activies that really help you have a different way of looking at life. Gopi, is a single trainer, who can deliver the content right, has a great training experience and perfect to the core of deliver. Ritu's works on the guide are really great. Ram was wonderfully coordinating even though they werent their majors. (The difference between the first snap in the group and the second snap, was Ritu missing and found)
