“The presentation was packed with information and interactive moments where learners apply principles in real time. Self-reflection helps learners to understand why they behave in a certain way, and how to break out of their silos.”

“The training was incredibly well presented—engaging from start to finish. The creative games and group exercises made learning fun and memorable, and there was a strong emphasis on group participation throughout. It’s the kind of course that not only equips young nonprofits with practical tools but also inspires them to dive deeper into their own growth and development and sign on to other courses in the future.”

“The presenter was able to connect with a diverse audience. The 2-part session was effective at helping the participants complete effective self-reflection before moving on to emotional intelligence and its vital role in building relationships at work. The focus on creating a personal brand and motto was thought-provoking and will lead to continuing conversations and organizational connections.”
