Feedback from our last training session:
“It was interactive, with practical, organisationally specific examples. Martin was very engaging and explained concepts clearly with great examples. Even the basics—like when to communicate versus when to engage—were made clear.”
“Martin’s facilitation created a warm and inviting environment for all levels of experience. I loved collaborating with others and applying the theory directly to a scenario. The resource booklet was a bonus—not many trainings provide that!”
