” Wow the assertiveness course with Tracy Seed was been like discovering a new landscape. There is a world out there where you don’t have to hide, be frozen , impatient, angry and then stuck. Tracy showed me and I think others on the course, ways of communicating better with ourselves and as a result others. Tracy is an amazing mentor. Many thanks” course participant
