Feedback from our amazing clients

Such a valuable and insightful three days. I feel like it has already made a massive difference to my approach and built a really strong connection between me and the other attendees. It felt like something we really needed to do. You and Marcus have such a great, supportive and inspiring approach which really helped me to battle some demons and consider my development.
Mark Roberts
Sheffield University
I felt so reassured by the warm and open space that we created and that you and Marcus facilitated this week… I remembered my learnings and felt empowered to helicopter away from the detail. Thanks so much for facilitating a great few days. I had arrived with an open mind but had never imagined that I’d take so much away.

The course has been a brilliant experience, with subtle links between the tasks which have helped to build on and apply the learnings.
