What an incredible day. I would never have thought that the workshop on motivation would be a day that would enrich my teaching so positively and that I, as an experienced teacher, would come out of a training course so completely euphoric for the first time. Thank you for your great work, which is a great treasure for our profession. I would have loved to stay another day, dear Kristin!
