“Dan Menden is one of the best trainers I have had in my professional career. I was fortunate to have him as a virtual instructor for a four day virtual class. In the unique platform of the virtual world it can sometimes be difficult to engage students and keep the content fun. Dan was a master at not only keeping all content fun and relevant to us students, but he also kept his finger on the pulse of the classroom to ensure breaks and activities were well used. I truly enjoyed Dan’s training and more importantly I learned and have applied what was taught in the training.”
