Not a Client

The Jan. 4 articles on the training industry made a reference to Jet Propulsion Laboratory that we found grossly misleading.

By describing JPL as a “client,” it implied an endorsement of Transformational Technologies Inc. and Werner Erhard. This is simply not the case.

The term “client” is a rather euphemistic term for the relationship we had with Transformational Technologies Inc. They had a one-day public seminar titled “Masterful Coaching” that we attended and that we determined to be inappropriate for JPL.
