Feedback
I attended the Brilliant Remote Manager course with Larry Reynolds. The course was very informative and just the right pace. Larry was very engaging and kept his audience throughout. Very enjoyable, thank you.
Very Enjoyable
The Brilliant Remote Manager's course lead by Larry Reynolds was a real eye opener to what can be achieved through consideration and foresight to all levels of day to day business activity. I came away realising that the working day will offer up many opportunities to apply what has been communicated through Larry and The Hub events course.
