Feedback from the participants in last year’s Workshop:
- Joe, having you on my legal team almost made me cry. You are so knowledgeable, light hearted, committed to good craft and staying in touch with dedicated colleagues. It’s EASY to trust you, and that was assuring – and that is what you wanted because you’re great. Top notch.
- Materials provided are extremely helpful as a reference throughout the presentation and otherwise.
- There is a lot to cover in Ethics and Joe gives the time to explain an ethical topic in detail so that one really understands why it is a legal or ethical principle.
- This instructor was delightful to listen to and learn from. He is very well-spoken and used relevant and helpful examples which made learning easy.
- This Law and Ethics course was highly informative and engaging; it kept my interest throughout the course.
- I take so many Ethic classes where instructors just throw out information at the student with no sense of passion for the topic. Joe sees each topic as a story and explains it in such an interesting way that the information really sticks. I learn a great deal with Joe.
- I appreciate that Joseph is both a therapist and a lawyer.
- For an online training, it was engaging and kept my attention!
- Really excellent training. I like your teaching style and having access to the test questions actually helps me to learn more.
