   neutral   What did you learn at the workshop you went to yesterday? Do you think it was worth the investment to go?     neutral   Yeah, I really got a lot of the session. The workshop topic was resolving personal problems. It was led by a professional human resources director. The teacher had a lot of experience, and I think we were all given a really good base to start with.  
    neutral   The workshop was only one afternoon long, do you really think you can learn that much in only a couple of hours?     neutral   It depends on the topic, the teacher, and the way the course is set up. Yesterday, even though we only had a short time to discuss the issues, the workshop got us all thinking. We learned some very basic, but very useful methods of dealing with personnel issues.  
    neutral   Sounds like you really learned a lot.     neutral   
 That might have something to do for my colleagues, too ; after having been together over forty years
 Yes, i am quite happy about what i took from those three short hours.
