Public COT
“She was very good at this presentation – very approachable and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. [The trainer] was excellent – informative, interactive, kept people on track but gave some latitude. The role plays were very useful exchange of information. I thought the training was excellent – it was informative but in a relaxed setting which meant knowledge was shared. “
BHP Billiton
“[The trainer’s] style and performance were fantastic – a relaxed style, which accommodated questions and issues. The structure of the session allowed for discussion and sharing of experiences, and the content was great – especially the parts about Contact Officer Skill development. Very good session – definitely mandatory for all Contact Officers. “
Public COT
“[The trainer] was open to participants’ suggestions and comments. She was very informative and up-to-date on EEO procedures and protocol. I was able to come away from the training program with a better understanding of EEO issues and how to deal with the issues. The presentation was very clear and easy to understand. Having not had a great deal of experience with EEO before in my working career, I was generally impressed with the program – its presentation, informativeness and the “hands on” approach of the presenter. “
APRA, COT
“[The trainer] was great – animated, involved, positive and interesting. [The trainer’s] facilitating skills were excellent – she made people feel comfortable and that all contributions were relevant and valuable. All areas were well handled with practical problem solving and activities that were very helpful in resolving issues. An excellent and enjoyable session – thank you. “
