Below is just a small sample of some of the feedback we've received from audience members and participants over the past few years: 

"A perceptive script - having worked in a mix of different schools these issues are universal - I am concerned that some colleagues may think these are unique to us - this provides a very stimulating means of professional development"

"Excellent way of conveying messages re: customer care, equal opportunities, listening skills, stress, etc"

"It was very good - interesting to see how not to do things.  I must say that I thought it was going to be really boring but it was very good and interesting."

"I thought it was a great way to look at how to approach a situation in a different way and what is appropriate.  It was a creative and fun way to complete the work as well."

"Fabulous visual training!"

"A different way of looking at our working practices - thought provoking"

"It was a much better way of learning how to be sensitive to people on the phone than watching videos or a 'traditional' training course"

"It was very good to get all departments talking together"

"Provided an opportunity to objectively observe actions that occur daily"
