"The day passed without noticing the time, never found myself drifting away and Anne was great all day I could have sat in a training session for three days, Excellent job! :)

"Troy was flexible and enthusiastic. He delivered the content so that it was relevant and practical to our business. We are all motivated to start implementing these new strategies. The training was fantastic although now I will be very busy implementing it all. :)"

"Anne was a very engaging trainer and the content was interesting but the quality of the course could be enhanced by spending more time on applying the knowledge that we were taught into practical situations."

"Anne is very approachable and friendly and a well of information. I really enjoyed her style of humour and teaching! I enjoyed most watching my team "unravel" - there was a lot of apprehension prior to the session that their scores reflected who they are as people and I noticed some negative feelings and whispers before we had even begun. It was great to see the arms unfold due to Anne's excellent teachings and watch them gradually relax and be totally won over/captivated. I also loved learning about my peers styles and better ways to integrate/understand and collaborate with them! Anne is an asset to your organisation. Thank you Anne - Legend!!"

"I found the most useful section of the course the use of words to use and words not to use. Ann was very engaging and made the training very interesting and had a good sense of humour."

"The course was very informative I learnt some new techniques and had fun doing it"
