I was lucky enough to be a part of a workshop led by Cliff. His hands on knowledge on different personality dimensions and stress handling is truly fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the session. He taught us some exercises and moves to ‘bust the stress’ called stress busters. They really work. Keep up doing the great work you’re doing, Cliff. Hope to see you again soon.
