Tips and tricks! The tournament was fun and competitive. I enjoyed the safe learning environment. Fast paced, kept the energy levels up. Thank you!
Once we learned how to use the sim, I liked how objective it was. Excellent feedback from our host with analytics - comparing our strengths, weaknesses and money left on the table. I liked the friendly competition across teams.
The sim tool is interesting and impressive, and quite objective when we got the final results and analysis. I liked the risk free way we practiced, using real life situations.

The live role playing sims were engaging and very helpful for putting into practice the techniques we learned. Very thorough.
The Negotiation Expert connected with the audience and kept our engagement level high. I liked the lessons from our sim graphs once we understood their meaning.
