    Jon was a great facilitator and had great examples to provide on each learning topic. The course covered all of the questions and beyond that I had and I may even consider taking another course in the future.

  • A.J. S., Manager, Business Development (Supplier Diversity) Jan 22, 2024

    Jon was fantastic - Data analysis is not the most entertaining subject around, but his anecdotes and stories from his time in the field went a long way in making this an enjoyable and engaging experience.
