"PTDA's Executive Development
Conference gave me tools I could take back to my company and apply
to what I'm doing today. I was also able to pass on to other
members of the company some of the information we covered during the
session. The interactive and participatory nature of the sessions
reinforced the concepts being presented and provided me with a chance to
practice what was being discussed in a friendly
atmosphere."
