Back In The Saddle with Carlos Alvarez of Tero International

He's been away from what he loves for over a year. Carlos Alvarez, a Tero International Trainer for twenty years, is back in front of business professionals who want to learn how to Speak Their Way to Success. I sat down with my friend Carlos to talk about the past year. Why he took the time off, what he gets from being in front of a live classroom and how he made a pivot to teach in an elementary classroom. What he learned from that experience is...astounding. Listen in!
