In all of my years attending CLE (I also worked hand in hand with my dad, Stephen Wagner, on the creation of his courses from 2004-2019), this is the BEST I have attended. I have an idea of how hard putting something like this together can be. Its all-encompassing. Your expertise in the online/tech/marketing aspect is much appreciated. I also really enjoy the real-world info coming from someone who only does online mediation…in conjunction with Woody’s thoughts coming from someone who has done/is doing a lot of in person mediation. It is a really good aspect of this course . . . getting some new school thoughts from someone who is on top of the tech and zoom mediation.  Also, we can tell that everyone in Mosten Guthrie cares about each participant who signs up for this online experience. We feel it and it feels great to have someone like you genuinely rooting for our success. THANK YOU
