    I learned a lot during the training about behaviors and how we can have influence on them. The trainer knew a lot about the theory and the way he taught it to us was excellent. He also had many practical examples and there was time to discuss elements with fellow delegates. I like OBM and I am surely going to use it in my professional life.
