Trainer is knowledgeable and experienced in the topic and was able to use examples and verbalise concepts in a simplified way that reinforces learning.Really inspired by the systemic thinking
I really liked all the examples from clients' work to contextualise the concepts. There were also lots of great pearls of wisdom in the trainer's sharing; it would be great if some of those were so captured in the slides.Equip Yourself to Enhance Your Quality of Care
