Paul was super engaging and presented extremely well.
Justine was excellent! Why? She had very good knowledge about the subject - she did not really read the book it was all coming from her head which I loved. Justine made the sessions interactive - making us to try and give and receive feedback using different techniques. 11/10.
Andrea was excellent – very clear and gave great examples. She was knowledgeable and helpful. Andrea had a good grasp of the time we needed to get across these concepts, practice and re-cap This was a succinct and effective program – highly recommended.
Rob was able to keep me engaged for the whole day which is amazing. Rob was also able to challenge and encourage the group to self-reflect.
Justine was very clear and engaging, interactive and made the session fun. Have attended HR sessions in the past which were condescending or dry. This had everyone involved. Really well-presented information and good interaction and simulations to make it actionable. Material was relevant.
I really enjoyed Suzanne's style and presentation. Stories that were real based on Suzanne’s experience and the other participants and being able to analyse those stories and refine feedback.
