What others say
I think this course should be taught in every work place! While there were many things that would be considered common sense, it was a great way to stop, pause and reflect on how I currently communicate and where I may have gaps. The course was insightful and reinforced that everyone communicates/likes to be communicated to in different ways - something I will now be more conscious of.
- Georgia Mann
Wendy was fantastic. She was entertaining, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. It is a very difficult skills based course to teach and she did very well. I feel like I can apply what I learnt in the intense training in both my professional and personal life. It was very insightful.
- Nicole Quirk
A very well presented course with an engaging presenter.
