A few comments from our clients:

Facilitator was an excellent role model by showing his tools and techniques in practice - so you can see `how to do it' .  Enabled and created a safe environment, welcoming and encouraging us to be ourselves and enjoy training delivery and that we are `experts' in our topic!

The smaller group size enabled `deeper learning' and greater personal attention over the two days.
