I thoroughly enjoyed my day at the Impact Factory and it most certainly was a valuable experience. I have come away with lots of ideas and useful hints and tips to implement. Naina was truly inspiring and a wonderful facilitator. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
The Media Course was really great! I learned so many new techniques that’ll help with nerves and being more impactful and authoritative when I speak.
Thanks again for the training, it has really paid dividends! I have since given a talk and felt so much more comfortable and was able to answer questions in a more confident manner.
