I purchased your TUF online course, and I’m really thrilled with it. I’m particularly impressed with the pedagogically sound delivery and the overall high quality of the program. I’m especially impressed as a colleague, and I have looked at lots of courses from all over the world, and we reckon yours is a standout on all fronts.

I really recommend TUF. It gives you real insight on how to de-escalate a bad situation and how to help with your emotions. Very helpful tools.

The course really encourages you to deal with your emotions so that they do not become impediments in dealing with difficult situations or conversations.

I did a TUF program over 10 years ago when I worked at Fonterra. The skills I learned in the program prepared me so well for difficult and brave conversations that I still think about it 10 years later.

I have completed the TUF program and came away with so many learnings and great tips that I just wanted to say thank you very much. As a business manager and team leader I wish I had come across your work sooner!
