“Dear Helen – Can I say that I felt Terry was a great presenter. I’ve done MANY training courses over lots of years and it’s a real skill to manage the participants – as you nearly always get ‘someone’ who has to keep asking questions / has something to say .. and we had (at least) one. They can take up a lot of time but I watched Terry handle him very well without offence .. so I came away feeling that I had really learnt something (I did) and I’ve been working with our Board for some 20+ years (non-Board member / minute taker / WCF employee) – so the course was of great assistance to me thank you!” William Campbell Foundation

“Hi Helen, when the opportunity came up to attend 'another' governance workshop I couldn't decide whether to go. I decided to go anyway. I really must commend Hugo for his delivery style and the content of the workshop. He was personable and referred to people by their names. Quite impressive when you imagine we had only met him. Hugo's extensive experience lends him the necessary knowledge to impart during the class. The real life examples are things I could relate to as a board member.
They were not just theoretical approaches but examples that were backed with the outcomes achieved. All in all a fantastic workshop” Bowen Street Community Centre

Ron’s facilitation of the governance training for our very multicultural committee was so well received. Over the recent years our committee have been working strongly in developing their skills to lead our organisation and during the session that we attended with Ron it highlighted to our committee that they are all working in the right direction. He gave them more to think about also which is great as that can be the direction our members can now move to further develop their governance skills. Springvale Neighbourhood House
