"This will help me in my personal life as well as work life. I learnt a lot about myself and how I communicate and how I can be more effective. 1. Its hard to be purposeful when you don't know where you are going. 2. all the body language tips 3. Most Negative behaviour is based on Fear . 'Resolve' the fear first then you will be able to work out the aggression/passive aggressive behaviour. 4. Intention and Impact. And my favourite take away ' saying no to the action and not the PERSON!"

"I think it was great that Sanet tailored her training and communication to the team that were there, and made it a bit lighthearted to get a few laughs out of them. I am definitely recommending my team to do the one day public refresher as I think the training was really beneficial for them. It also has applications for personal lives as well rather than just work impacts."

I will definitely be returning for the refresher course within 6 months. Thank you.
