Hi, Mrs. Elaine. On Saturday, I purchased your self-paced Ethics 101 for TIPIC's training. I was hesitant at first and then I was pleasantly surprised that the course was very similar to Zoom training with you. I’ve taken other self-paced courses, and they miss the element of human interaction. The training was not just clicking buttons and listening to long drawn-out speakers. Your flow of speaking and inclusion of examples from your experience over the years helped keep the training engaging and the breaks helped too. I really liked the incorporation of the video from the Notary conference. This course completes my TIPIC renewal requirements. Thanks as always, for being an amazing Notary Public leader and teacher.
