Testimonials (4)
Consolidated feedback: The 2nd day was first thought as too long and then appreciated by the audience who could put in practice what was learned. Audience appreciated the fact that they could pick a theme to better presenting on, that was their core work Take away cheat sheets and clear framework to structure presentations were really good Working in different pairs throughout both days was welcome. Very engaging trainer on both days Special thanks from one audience member: "I really enjoyed it and especially the interactive sessions where we get instant feedback and can practice around it, I find that very educational. Please also share my appreciation to Liz, I think she’s a great trainer and I like her humane approach throughout the workshop"
