Pame Barba, MS
Rusty was my instructor for the instructional design certificate course. He has an impressive resume and background, and his teaching style makes him stand out. Rusty's ability to engage the class, build rapport, and create a positive learning environment was a masterclass. His kind and playful demeanor made the course both informative and enjoyable.
Rusty was so thoughtful, even in the small details like curating the background music and ordering snacks, and in the extensive post-course resources, that it's clear that Rusty goes above and beyond for his students. His passion for teaching is evident in every interaction. He makes each student feel valued and heard. If you're seeking a trainer/facilitator who will not just teach, but create a memorable learning experience, I highly recommend Rusty.
Meet Courtney Weidner
At 9 years old, I lost my father—the one person who truly showed me love. For years, I chased love through relationships, believing others were the key to feeling whole. I was wrong. It wasn’t until I embraced the journey of self-love that I discovered how to heal, grow, and truly thrive. Now, my mission is to help you do the same. My coaching is rooted in the belief that self-love is taught, but it’s something you learn through the support of others. I’m here to guide you as you realign your life and unlock the love and purpose within yourself.
