‘a brilliant two days!’

‘ … very well put together and excellent delivery.’

…absolutely on point.’

Lots of helpful activities and ideas, and a very engaging two days.’

‘ … timing duration of exercises was great.’

‘ … good balance of content and practical …’

Very engaging – lots of participation and getting everyone involved.’

‘ … very good presentation and facilitation.’

I suggest that all who represent the CAA externally attend. I also suggest that all who deliver internal sessions do the same. The downsides of poor training experience are too great to leave things to chance.’

Thanks Philippa for a brilliant two days! I am always keen for feedback and it was great to have this detail and multiple opportunities… great to have a refresher and presented in an engaging and authoritative way.’

I cannot speak highly enough of Philippa’s talent to bring out the best authentic ‘you’ …

A testimonial from 1-1 coaching client Paula Gander

“Philippa is highly inspirational and has a lovely natural ability to put people at ease and yet guide them gently into the art of public speaking.

On my first meeting I could feel the warmth and genuine desire to listen and understand what I wanted to say when talking at networking meetings.

Although nervous at first, Philippa’s presence, feedback and recommendations gave me confidence to improve.  I was also very impressed with Philippa’s in depth summary of our meeting and the information shared.

On my second meeting I had truly improved and in such a short space of time Philippa had installed in me a more calmer, confident speaker. I cannot speak highly enough of Philippa’s talent to bring out the best authentic ‘you’, and she has inspired me so much that I now volunteer to give talks in my profession, something I would never have considered before.

To speak confidently and at ease is one of the hardest things, I believe, to achieve yet Philippa has the insight to coax this out of you, to make you believe in yourself.

Absolutely one of the most kindest and sincere trainers I have ever met and most grateful to have met her to help me to progress in my business”.
