Your contribution had a great deal to do with the success and fabulous appeal of the event.” Etienne Brits, Manager Wollongong Futures Project
- “I feel I really came alive in this workshop format (world cafe) much more so than in the cocktails-after-a-speech format. We got beyond the small talk to what really matters. ” – NSW Manufacturing Week. Things that make a difference – effective design processes. May 2010 David Crocombe Project manager, inventor
- “Several of the participants commented on how skilled you were at maintaining the momentum over the 3 day workshop. You were really good at engaging everyone in the work and keeping pace with their needs. I especially appreciated your ability to adapt the program on the hop which I am sure is what kept it fresh and alive for everyone.” Jan Hatch, NSW Council of Social Services
