What an interesting, inspiring & useful workshop with lots of interaction. It was fully packed with activities and the content was very relevant. I came out a strengthened leader & I tell you that from today I am going to be a leader worth following. I will recommend colleagues to attend next time this workshop is available.
Royal Darwin HospitalAdam, Thank You! It's great to finally see something developing the leader I am & not defining who is a leader or things you must do as many others do. The workshop made me connect dots, challenge my own practice and caused a few lightbulb ideas to create more efficiencies across the projects I'm involved in. I enjoyed sharing stories and learning from the plethora of honest experiences of others, and the space to reflect, which I don't often get. Fantastic!

Adam's facilitation style and educational relevance was right on the mark! There was a good balance of inspiring stories delivered through multi mediums, with an opportunity for team members to contribute to how the evidence and ideas presented might shape or re-shape our practices. The connection between meaning and practical delivery in all that we do inspired attendees and I believe it will value add at 'the coalface'. Thanks for a great day, Adam.
