Great overall! Great use of my time. Highly recommended. Content wise the workshop was great.
Jill was absolutely phenomenal. I have sat through MANY Zoom presentations in the past couple of years and Jill’s was one of the best I’ve seen.
Great links to experience, great speed of delivery and experience in delivering the content. Great opportunity to uncover some techniques and tools that are extremely important when having challenging conversations. I will endeavour to put these skills into practise in the future.
Lynne was engaging and didn’t skip a beat. Fantastic facilitator and obvious expert knowledge. Great framework provided.
Suzanne had an excellent approach and style of facilitating. I learnt extremely valuable skills that I will apply in my career. Her presentation is very engaging. I had a great overall training experience.
Martin was very engaging and down to earth which provided a safe environment for me to be my authentic self! I came into this seeking professional development and have left feeling immense personal growth. Best training I’ve had in a long time…if not ever!
