I did want to drop a line through to say a huge thank you for your time and the session with us, after you left we ended up discussing the topic until well after 6pm and it was just awesome. The whole team took so much from it and really valued your time – thank you so, so much. Worth absolutely every cent.
That was the best professional development opportunity I have attended since starting here at UC. The quality of the content and the delivery was exceptional. A significant reflection moment for me about many concepts covered, it really was amazing – having openly experienced a ‘spectacular burn out’ myself last year I just milked that whole presentation yesterday for the golden messages kind of moment it was…self care practices not being luxuries, the shadow of a leader, healthy caring…I could go on and on!
Well you did an absolutely brilliant job. We were delighted with how it went and feedback so far has been very, very positive. Thank you for truly listening and considering our requirements and getting it right for our audience. We loved working with you.
I wanted to thank you all for making last week’s webinar such a success. I have had feedback from numerous people, both in the EMA and outside (including my partner who is a mental health professional). This unprompted feedback has all been positive, so all very welcome! The different perspectives and examples you brought resonated and different people picked out different comments or suggestions from the webinar. For me the webinar it had the great vibe of a group of friends having a good quality conversation, with professional expertise, practical examples and humour. Which is a great way into getting business owners and managers to think about how they can help address these important issues, as well as helping us all individually. Thanks again. It is the EMA’s most viewed webinar by some way for last year.
Your presentation was perfect for what I was hoping to achieve, and the team and I appreciated and learnt from your storytelling and vulnerability – thank you.
