Compass Seminars is thrilled to announce two, brand new, live broadcast webinars for 2024. 'Triple Trouble' with the highly regarded US clinical psychologist, author, and speaker Dr. Jon Baylin and 'Connections Over Compliance' with influential US educationalist, academic, and author Dr Lori Desautels.
