Reviews
Being part of the assertiveness course was like a different world, one that I have since made sure I am actively living in. So thank you, I have recommended it to almost all friends and colleagues.
Impact Factory were really supportive and as I was a bit nervous on the day this really helped. This course was really informative and we were given some good tips on how to deal with different situations.
Katie and James were engaging and encouraging facilitators. I appreciated their attentiveness to individual’s goals for the session and their personalised feedback that helped realise growth and development even in the session itself.
