Thank you Justine, your interactive training, whereby you included each participant by sharing out tasks and used each person’s names in examples, was engaging and effective. Your availability in the breakout rooms offered our room support when we had hit a road block, and it was much appreciated. The format of the workshop was facilitated by Justine who used face to face training techniques so it was effective and retained personal impact.

World Vision Australia - Stacey
Justine provided excellent explanations and examples to help me understand better, especially with my limited experience of facilitation.

Powercor Australia - Luke
Justine is a fun and enthusiastic presenter who kept me engaged and willing to learn. I completed the course with useful information that I will implement today and in the future, both within my work and home life. Online is more challenging to keep participants engaged than face to face, however Justine did an amazing job with this. She is enthusiastic, and provided a balance of interaction (scenarios and 'break out rooms') and written information that kept me engaged.

Kemppi – David
The content was presented in a way that was appealing to a variety of learning styles. Renee was a great facilitator, very engaging, energetic, referred often to sources and references. Renee read the room really well and delivered the content accordingly – a great mix of presenting styles used (audio, visual, group, self-reflecting).
Jesuit Social Services
Suzanne is fantastic – easy going and very knowledgeable. This was a great workshop. It was inspiring, energetic and Suzanne bought lots of ideas with both extensive and in depth knowledge together with case studies. We had a well-balanced group which contributed to interesting and focussed discussion and exchanges.
AVEA Insurance - Jasmine
I think the workshop was great and wouldn't need any improvements. Anita was a great presenter, and facilitated discussion rather than directed it which was great for our group to be able to all bounce ideas of each other. She facilitated healthy and constructive discussion and she was very knowledgable.

Graham was able to bring some good examples and had a very clear way of presenting the content.

Cobild - Marvin
I have already filled out the feedback you sent us but I wanted to provide a little more in terms of the impact it has had. The week after the workshop I gave a couple of presentations at the Grad induction. So much of what Simon went through with us was relevant. In particular the way to craft a presentation quickly (the stem plan), his advice on slides and the discussion around impact statements and presence. I tried out all of the above and am pleased to say it worked incredibly well! I’m conscious that positive feedback is not always highlighted and so I wanted to see if you could pass this on to Simon. He definitely had an impact on all of us and we have discussed things we’ve learned since the workshop several times with everyone agreeing it was one of the most impactful and useful workshops we’ve done at Specsavers.
Specsavers - Optometry Team participant
Graham was very engaging, his message was positive and filled you with confidence that you could implement what he taught in your day to day work life. Couldn’t recommend Graham highly enough.

I also really enjoy the Lencioni content. An excellent, insightful and inspiring day. Maggie was a great facilitator who kept us all engaged and focused.
Swatch Group Australia - Caroline
Lordien was a fantastic presenter. Her knowledge and the way she engaged with all participants was above and beyond.

She helped me develop my own sales techniques. I found the in depth content and group work valuable.

Officeworks - Nicole
Justine is clearly passionate about Presenting – this combined with her knowledge made the course infectious.
State Trustees – Jessica
This session was way more interesting, dynamic and playful than the summary led me to believe - I thought I might be going to something fairly 'dry' but it wasn't at all. I have recommended it to my senior manager to use as an away day session, it was that good. I think ALL staff could really benefit from it - not just managers or team leaders.
RMIT University – Participant
Anita has a wealth of expert knowledge and an incredible ability to map every example thrown at her, back to best practice project management. Thank you.

I found the program very informative. Would have liked it to be longer so more theories could be considered. Mark was very engaging and made the material interesting and enjoyable.

Icon by Design – Anthony
We have had an ongoing relationship with ICML for over four years at Wyndham City Council. Peter Munnik and his team of experienced, engaging and knowledgeable facilitators make my job very easy as they have proven time and again to be flexible and only too willing to accommodate our needs every time they deliver programs at our workplace. Their programs are always well received by our staff and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them with future needs.

Jetpets - Sally
Allan was great, very personal in his approach, listened and had a good talk to listen ratio. Allan has great ideas, knows how to relate to people to ensure they will have confidence leaving the program. The program reinforced the skills I have and techniques I currently use. Allan provided extra ideas that I can now use.
People’s Choice Credit Union – Craig

Western Region Health Centre - Brett
Fantastic program!! I highly recommend!! It was interesting and easy to understand, and involved a lot of practical tools I can use in a day to day setting.

Swatch Group Australia - Participant
We engaged ICML for a tailored Influencing skills program for our team of senior leaders in our department. ICML listened well to our needs and tailored a program delivered over multiple workshops. The emphasis was on understanding and applying influencing skills from a behavioural psychology point of view. The facilitator Suzanne Loubris certainly delivered on this. Suzanne’s psychology background and experience was instrumental in her facilitation of the program. She offered a framework to understand what motivates others and introduced a simple but effective approach to understanding and adapting to different behavioural types. Suzanne was a great facilitator. She helped the team gain confidence and practical skills to positively influence a variety of internal and external stakeholders. I have already recommended this program and ICML to colleagues.

Hands on confidence builder before a presentation at a conference. Lynne was clear, with excellent timing and top tips. Lynne brought the learning to life. Thank you!

Lynne’s workshops are always fantastic – was so pleased to see her at the front of the room when I walked in! Walked out of the session feeling like I had learnt a lot and had fun doing it. Lynne is so friendly, positive and engaging. Lynne really wants us to learn and succeed.
Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) – Participant
Loved the course Project Management Essentials. Would surely recommend it to anyone who needs it. Robin has been excellent and helped clear the doubts that arose during the course. The course gives a lot of insights into Project Management. I learnt a lot of things I can improve on.
Connexity - Aazim
Craig was very engaging and able to deliver the message clearly. Lots of self realisations I had not thought of – the course highlighted a lot of things for me. I found the informal discussions were very valuable, particularly when I could open up about some experiences and get advice.
Versent – James
An excellent presentation and very thought provoking. You can become very isolated when working from home and you do lose an element of human interaction. I got a lot out of the workshop. Thank you. The live workshops are a great idea.
gotafe – Ros
I really enjoyed this course and feel as though I have gained some useful techniques I can implement into my development and the overall business development where I work. I would highly recommend.

Andrea worked well with the team. I needed a formula for preparing presentations and now I have one! The content we gained was invaluable, especially the websites and the authors to look up later.
Jemena Energy - John
Great experiences, thanks! Justine was great: she was interactive, engaging and nothing was a wrong answer. Good to utilise these skills, not only for resilience and managing stress but any situation: how we can avoid, adapt and accept.
Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital – Angelo
On behalf of the Sales Team and William Adams I would like to thank ICML for your participation in our preparation sessions, willingness to be flexible to suit our demands and ability to provide the perfect facilitator (Robert) for the audience and subject at hand. I have had nothing but glowing reports on the way the session was managed along with information and advice that was communicated in a way so it resonated with the wide variety of attendees with experience levels ranging from one to over twenty years. ICML has managed to fulfil our requirements regardless of the challenges our specific content and logistic requirements have thrown your way. We would certainly recommend your company to others looking to train their workforce.
William Adams - Ross Kelly, Business Manager
Dynamic presenter, well -structured with clearly articulated outcomes. The content is only as good as the way in which it is presented. Justine is a presenter who is able to stop, diverge and return to the central theme whilst answering personal questions about their approach and technique – not common. Well done Justine and thank you.
Dairy Australia - David

Justine was excellent – very engaging and also entertaining! Good mix of visuals, activities and “teaching”.
