WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS’ FEEDBACK …..

  • Speech bubble icon with three dots

    “Michelle’s training reignited my love of learning and shifted my focus to concentrating on strengths to assist my team to grow. By role modelling these ideas in the training, I was able to quickly implement them into my own practice. Her generosity with the resources she has developed has meant I have been able to explore what works for myself and each individual team member. I am so grateful to be on a clearer and more confident path to providing effective and transformative supervision”
