How Pam kept everyone engaged and having fun during a finance class is beyond me!
Pam's a great speaker, very engaging. There wasn't a minute during her presentation that my mind wandered. Very knowledgeable and the material presented was applicable to my practice. Speaker was so engaging it was difficult to take notes! I didn't want to miss anything she said.
Pamela presented an excellent review of staffing & budget. It triggered me to further interpret the productivity numbers.
