The course was fantastic. Structured really well and wasn't a

Fantastic and engaging course. A very well balanced blend of theory and practice.

I was looking for improving my facilitator skills , i could take back some pointers with me after the course. But i also wanted feedback about myself after each breakouts.

Considering this was the first time Paul had delivered this course online, it went well with just the odd hiccup.

Really well designed and nice training. Many possibilities to facilitate. I picked up a lot.

Calm, patient and informative. Paul knows his onions.

Paul was excellent - really helpful, and provided lots of frameworks that I will think about how I can best use as I move forwards in my career!
