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 center it all :)

I did mention at the end of the day that this course was the most engaged I had been from start to finish in a course for a very long time.

Appreciate the way Ian ensured that the things I wanted to learn were covered and in going through the content took time to reiterate and use personal experience for me to learn.

I enjoyed the course and found it very useful and I aim to use it in both a professional and personal level. Thanks again Tammy was very good with her delivery and did an excellent job of keeping the group on track whilst at the same time giving everyone a fair time to ask questions. Thank you Tammy I would say the only thing negative is that everyone in the business may not get to do the course as it is invaluable, especially at this time of change.
