Teaching

Brad believes that engaging students is essential for effective teaching. He subscribes to the philosophy that “it doesn’t matter how good the information you’re presenting is if the students aren’t paying attention.”  Brad employs a blend of course lecture focused on practical examples, discussion, sales role-plays, practice interviews, speakers, and student presentations to reach students and motivate them to engage in effective learning.
