- Sarah Milgrim, United States, Department of Public Diplomacy at the Embassy of Israel to the United States
“The amount and quality of the knowledge and skills shared during a one-day workshop was incredible! I also liked how we were able to learn from each other, not just the facilitator. The examples used to explain these important skills are easy to remember, and I am sure that they will continue to help me throughout the rest of my life!"
