A Different Perspective

I came not knowing what to expect but left full of confidence after the training. I have applied the lessons learnt and got good feedback. We greatly recommend it.
I can say that I’ve been using and encouraging others to use more pausing as well as encouraging them to use more storytelling for purposes of creating a personal connection and engagement.
Interactive and engaging sessions, with lots of opportunity to role-play, get feedback and the chance to implement feedback immediately. Katie and James were engaging and encouraging facilitators. I appreciated their attentiveness to individual’s goals for the session and their personalised feedback that helped realise growth and development even in the session itself.
