Jill related to the group extremely well and delivered an interesting course content.

-Fertility First

The interaction required with all of us attending the course was fun and brought out our thoughts on things that were relevant to us in the course. It was a great day Thank you!

-Corbett Homes

For me the course was valuable in learning more about how I communicate with others and providing me with the skills to be more assertive and express my view points to others. The day was fantastic, as it was focused on everyoneÆs own ideas of where they required support and extra resources to use. Our trainer was brilliant, she was a true professional when it came to listening to everyone and their own ideas of where they needed support, even the not so forthcoming ones. I really enjoyed the day, and took home some very valuable tools that I can use with colleagues, committee members and parents who access our service. I feel with time I can strengthen and develop my own assertiveness and skills for saying no and not feeling guilty later on for doing so.
