I look forward to hearing her again. We hired Clear Law Institute to deliver sexual harassment training to numerous law firms across the country . We received great feedback on the training. Nicole Kelly is an excellent presenter and really engaged the audience. Even our most junior people enjoyed and interacted in the session. We look forward to working with Clear Law Institute on other programs in the future. It was one of the best CLE programs I’ve attended in many years. It was so practical! I learned so much. The speaker was very easy to understand and very knowledgeable. I will be recommending this program to my colleagues. Thank you. I participated in your webinar on drafting and handling allegations of misconduct, and I just wanted to let you know that you were wonderful. Your flow and engagement made for an easy to listen to seminar. You also did a great job on the slides as well. It was informative and easy to follow. I appreciate it when speakers remove the stress and help to create a learning environment. Thank you!
