    Participant Feedback

    The workshop exceeded my expectations! I love how engaging the day felt, and that most of it centred around casual conversation and learning.

    The facilitator was exceptional and provided many real-world examples that resonated with many of us. Useful tactics that I have implemented since the session which is a credit to the program.

    The size of the workshop was great because it was big enough to get different perspectives but small enough to get really personal and direct feedback.
