Testimonials
Many thanks for your efforts with respect to the workshop. Over the past week I have received numerous positive comments about the way you structured and delivered the workshop. They included “it was brilliant” (from a guy who had pasted a blank crossword puzzle in his binder for the time that he expected to use it during the day – but didn’t!), “best facilitator I’ve encountered”, and “I was suspect, but this was a major step forward”, amongst others. There was an overwhelming feeling across the team that it was worth our while.
