I'm already signed up.

I took the old 3-day version of this in 2000 and it was an excellent course. I'm looking forward to seeing what's changed!

For those of you who might be on the fence about this class, I can highly recommend Insights Training. I have attended three Insights courses, and all contained outstanding materials and top notch instructors.
