Subject:Re: Experiences with Fred Pryor Seminars?? From:Steven Jong <SteveFJong -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Sun, 24 Jan 1999 11:41:23 EST
I have been to several Fred Pryor seminars in the Boston area. They were all
one-day seminars, at small hotels, with a traveling instructor (but always the
same registrar!) and many attendees.
I have enjoyed all of them, and I think I've found them useful. They're
relatively inexpensive, and I think they make for a great "mental health" day.
I can recommend them.
But there is one odd phenomenon, which I think speaks to their shallowness:
when I get a brochure in the mail announcing a seminar that sounds
interesting, I always have to stop and think: Do I want to attend this one?
Have I already ATTENDED this one? Or was I watching the Travel Channel? 8^)
