All the time remembering that….
”We are three people, the person that we think we are, the person that others think we are and the person we really are”

These are actual quotes from workshop participants:

“Thank you very much for a lovely day – I arrived half prisoner & half consumer – the small group sessions definitely bought out the adventurer. I thought you were a great model of good planning, diverse & appropriate resources, gentle but firm facilitation & excellent group understanding. I enjoyed myself more than I thought & believe real progress was made. I hope we can harness the wonderful energy we found in small groups & keep it going.”

“Thank you. It’s been a very timely & fruitful process, on the cusp of a significant change.

Your exercises & small group processes have been highly effective in engaging everyone positively & safely & you kept us to task flexibly but effectively. It leaves me with considerable optimism for what will follow in the months to come.”
“I thought the day was well paced. It was structured sufficiently to allow ideas to flow without being excessively regimented. It was amazing how well the group worked given the history over the last four years and the immediate past events of late 2004. Thank you Jill!!!”
“Take the opportunity to experience a different way of working - this is more than just our jobs - it is about people and connection between people that makes magic happen.”
“Wow!!! I feel this opportunity has empowered me and helped me understand the organisation and our work team so much better. I feel connected on many levels to the team.”
“This workshop was excellent but confronting. Helped heal issues & created a new space for further collaborations to move forward. Thanks.”
“We as a team have grown, and with that comes the strength, flexibility and endurance needed to complete our section of the business plan and more that we have identified.”
“Thank you Jill. I thought the workshop went well & was also well structured. Thank you for letting us have time to explore issues outside the original workshop plan..”
“Jill made this workshop fun. The learning was exciting and she always had everyone’s attention. The mixing of activities and business was brilliant. Never a dull moment.”
“Thanks Jill. You really helped open up some firmly stuck doors in a very kind & friendly way! “
“Brilliant facilitator – the program flowed – Jill kept us on track – her “tools of the trade” were enlightening.”
”Go Jill! Your focus, attention to detail and time management is the reasons that we achieved as much as we did. Please do many more workshops.”
“Fantastic!!! Jill kept us focussed, on task and yet taught us about listening to our concerns and putting them into ‘do-able’ tasks.”
“Great facilitator and great bag of tricks. Able to pull together elements/items and average processes very effectively.”
“Jill presents very well. Has a great understanding of our individual and teams needs. She was a pleasure to have with us on these two days.”
“She’s a gem. Aren’t we lucky to have her. Thanks Jill - you paced the workshop well - it flowed beautifully and kept my energy levels “buzzing”.
“Very good to connect with the team and find what a fun and caring group they are. Very good to have considered the business plan, our role in it and our opportunity to have further input into core business.”
“Personally I got a lot out of this workshop, in terms of understanding everyone’s roles and responsibilities and also as a person – not just a colleague.”
“It was productive, expansive, inclusive, stimulating, fun and energetic.”
“I was absolutely thrilled with the outcomes achieved.”

“Jill, I appreciated your good natured & calm handling of our group – not always an easy task. You knew when to step back & let us ‘get on with it’. Thanks.”
“The 2 days were so full yet so involving with each section bringing new and varied ways of thinking.”
“Excellent facilitation and use of team building processes.”
“Lots of the content was relevant to me that I didn’t believe was before. I am coming away with more knowledge and understanding about my team and what they do.”
“The exercises were great – everyone was stimulated and kept us awake and alert. This wasn’t at all boring.”
