Zoe's M&E training in Dubai has been so sweet. A lot was learned, and the fact that there was room to draw an implementation plan for the lessons learned in training for our own company was all the more serious and excellent as a strategy. The learning is not for the sake of learning; lessons must be put to use. Thank you, Zoe team.
