"Want to know more..."
"Stimulating, confidence-building, comfortable, positive. Want to know more! Best part was my change of attitude, feeling at ease on the stage – atta girl! This is a chance to work with someone who really knows what he is talking about."

"Really enjoyable..."
"Inspiring, helpful, easy (once you did it!), challenging (to start with) and useable. Best aspects were learning about body language, how to sound authoritative and how to work with your audience. Really enjoyable!"
