Certificate in Interpretive Guiding: Online with Kristin Robinson September 30 - October 8

I have taken many courses on interpretive / public speaking during my 30 + years of working in private, for profit, non profit and governmental jobs. Without a doubt Kristin presented the best course in interpretive style and approaches. Her close attention to detail of each participants style is incredible. What makes her course a step over and beyond any other presenter is her ability to engage her audience to a level that brings a different layer of self realization and through that experience I learned how to look at my approach to interpretive style and make changes. I strongly recommend her course to anybody who is starting or has been involved in interpretation or public speaking. ~ Farshid Mehrdadfar - Scottsdale Arizona
