Elena is an excellent trainer - vast knowledge, a very clear and accessible way of conveying it, many practical examples drawn from extensive experience. I liked the balance between the theoretical part and the practical one - a large number of exercises allowed for better contextualization of the acquired knowledge/skills and verification of whether we correctly understood the content. Verification after each exercise also allowed us to ask questions and dispel doubts on the go. Elena has a very positive energy, her training style encouraged engagement and listening. She had a great connection with the participants.
