  • Pam Bourke, Facilitator, Trainer and Corporate Consultant

    A very rewarding training experience. I learned a lot that I am already using in practice. I have completely shifted my view on online training and facilitation. Previously I thought it it was a poor alternative to face to face. I now know that if done well it can lead to transformational outcomes.

    This course has given me the confidence and presence to connect better with groups and to help them achieve their purpose with ease.
