They were fun and encouraged me to participate fully
I felt the activities were great ice breakers
Nervous at first for the unknowing, however the day and activities flowed well
Initial nerves were successfully addressed, providing the opportunity to enjoy and learn more from the activity
I have a series of 4 presentations to do in the next month so will definitely employ the techniques explored today
Will plan presentations better in future
Will be able to apply in day to day activities as well as new ventures
