Testimonials (1)
Deepthi was super attuned to my needs, she could tell when to add layers of complexity and when to hold back and take a more structured approach. Deepthi truly worked at my pace and ensured I was able to use the new functions /tools myself by first showing then letting me recreate the items myself which really helped embed the training. I could not be happier with the results of this training and with the level of expertise of Deepthi!
