Customers Reviews

Catherine Nunn

Kerry was so patient and really made the course fun and added a lot of personality to the learning which without it, would have made the last 4 days difficult. I think going forward it would be really helpful for Kerry to try to explain the content in a different way if one way of explaining doesn't 'click' so for example "let's dial it right back" and then explain the most basic of the concept and then build it up and add more and more of the course's detail into it.

Angie Marnewecke

Engaging. Friendly. Helpful. Detailed explanations.

Emily Snow

Really enjoyed the energy of the sessions when going through intense/long days. 2 things would help improve the experience. 1 - when using Kahoot if the podium could be turned off / encouraged to use anonymous names then people wouldn't be spotlighted for not knowing answers. It really put me off when I was openly presented as 'coming last' and had to motivate myself to want to join another Kahoot after that. The 2nd thing was more of an effort to get to know participants and their current contexts at the start of the training. I feel that the profile of us was decided on the first day based on 1 or 2 sentences in icebreakers and leading questions following meant people were excluded from inputting e.g. Person A and B I think you have this experience, when person C hasn't had the opportunity to share their context. Calling people out by name based on a few words despite improving connection, doesn't invite others to share their experience. Making a slight change here will help people feel more included and it will also connect participants earlier to understand each others contexts and learn from each other.

Suzy Gilberthorpe

Excellent - deployed a lot of different techniques - very engaging delivery - endless patience for our human shenanigans. Really enjoyed the kahoots etc. Recaps with the asking questions to test was very good because less passive learning and more active having to recall. Would shorten socials in the morning to start learning earlier but that's because my brain is best in the morning. Could save some socials for like an extra 10 mins after lunch? Prefer to get learning done earlier rather than back-ending the day (brain useless after 3pm)

Dusty Miller

Cat was an outstanding teacher who fitted every subject we covered into real life situations and often asked how we would fit things into our own working lives. This helped to cement ways in which the curse subject matter could be engaged to effect real change and benefit to us and our own situations.

Gautham Babu D A

Really a good trainer, She keeps always engaged and I loved the way of teaching,

Sandra Nnadi

Very detailed , patient and willing to answer questions. I found the classes to be very engaging and well thought out. She was brilliant and I could tell she is well versed and experienced in this field. I would definitely recommend her to colleagues.

Amber Heer

Caz was amazing, so helpful and interactive. I really enjoyed the Kahoot games she planned! Her enthusiasm and knowledge was fab!

Andy Allen

Great, knowledgeable instructor who kept the students engaged throughout.

Leah Simpson

Cat was amazing, she kept us engaged the whole time and really helped me to understand if I wasn't sure. She was so patient with all of the questions and so friendly. One point I want to raise that made the experience so much better, was the use of Kahoot. It really helped the group open up from the shells, and I definitely don't think we would have had as much discussion without Kahoot. It was also a fun way of knowledge checking without the pressure.
