- An excellent facilitator with a well developed and presented course. The course content was clear and concise with plenty of group interaction and discussion. This course demonstrated valuable techniques and tools for successful workplace and personal communications.
- Awesome course! Provides useful tools to all of us, for both work and non-work communications. Deals with current (modern) issues and technologies and their impact on our everyday communications. It is an eye-opener and it could/should be done by both junior and senior employees (in any industry), as a checkpoint of their own communications methods and (adopted) norms.
- The trainer was honest, helpful and you can tell she cares about what she is teaching. I truly do find this to have been one of the more valuable short courses I have partaken in.
