Feedback

It was an absolute pleasure to host your presentation yesterday, so refreshing to be presented with a wealth
of practical information, comprehensively presented with  some provocations and food for thought around our practice.
The feedback has been so very positive, it was wonderful to hear the conversations and see the spark reignited for some of my colleagues. I hope to work with you again in the future and  would also appreciate it if you could inform me when you are presenting in Brisbane again this year as some of our services may be interested in attending instead of waiting until next year.
