Testimonials
Great engagement and good tips for improving facilitation such as defining purpose and audience.
I thought Clare as the course facilitator was brilliant, brought a really lovely energy to the session and kept the content focused and engaging - I learned quite a lot from this course to help me in my own role.
Very helpful as it was full of practical tips.
It was very practical with specific tools to use and time to apply them to our work. Sometimes sessions like these can be a bit murky or overly abstract. It was clear and to the point. I definitely learned things!
