Formal Training
- "Practice and practice and practice. Practice makes what? 'Perfect?' Absolutely not, dismantle that belief system. Practice makes improvement. You can always better your best. You can always go beyond anything you've ever done. You'll never hit a state of perfection. You're always bigger than what you do. And so all you're looking for are new breakthroughs to practice and practice and practice. You'll get better and better and better" --Les Brown
I’ve taken the following coursework through professional training organizations while working full-time. These training courses were hand selected to help achieve my personal development goals. I am always looking for a different way to do or see things. And my exposure to new topics has led to interests I didn’t even know I had.
