The debate about whether happy sheets are intrinsically flawed 
or simply as good as the questions rumbles on and those of you 
in favour of feedback forms came back in force this week. Anyone 
looking to hone their happy sheet, shouldn’t miss the excellent 
examples of how to  prepare a feedback form posted by members 
over the last seven days. You’ll find some valuable advice that 
just may help you design a form that may well ensure future 
training happiness!
