What people say
Participants, training organisers and partner organisations have had some good things to say about us over the years.
The best workshop I've been to. So practical, with really useful results.
We’ve collected so much valuable data from this workshop and I feel so motivated to refine our strategy and engage our partners in the process. From our initial discussions, to the clear design process, to the workshop and all the reports, this has been exactly what we needed,

[Strategic communication planning workshop]
I was able to use a storytelling structure to make my proposal clearer
I put what I learned into practice and received feedback that my ideas were clear and easy to understand, thanks to my use of the structures Suzanne taught.

[Storytelling and narrative for scientists for a Royal Society]
I've learned new presentation skills that I can really use in my scientific presentations
Thank you Suzanne for such a practical workshop on scientific presentation skills. Even thought we were all from different disciplines and organisations, it was all useful. I wasn’t expecting much because usually people just show slides. The discussions, the Q&A sessions, the peer reviews, and your input were a breath of fresh air.
