Communicate Better!
Big thanks to Jason and Kat and everyone at CP for making it easy and comfortable to interact and get involved. – WheeDesign
I wanted to give a Kudos to some very excellent differences in operation … A heads up and sneak peak before anything happened at all … Honest responses skipping the sales pitch … getting the thinking behind decisions without trying to put some kind of "spin" on it - very refreshing! – Diane Blackman
It's all good, and getting better!!! Thank you, Jason and Kat!! --
