Hello Mr. Charles-Edouard,
After having attending 2 of your coaching presentations to students from group 010 and 020 in office administration, I wanted to send you a thank you message for the precious material that you shared with us. I appreciate your professional approach by using a humorous tone at certain times and by following a persuasive note throughout the program. It was a real pleasure to be able to attend during our interaction classes in the world of work. Thank you I am very grateful.
I was elected National President of the Mounted Police Association in 2017, an organisation advocating for over 18000 police officers across the country. I attribute most of my success in this field to the soft skills learned with these guys.
I would highly recommend them and their program to anyone who truly want to excel in life.
