I loved this course!

I loved this course! It showed me areas to improve and work on for myself and as an employee at Henley. I have learnt to be more aware of how I present myself and approach people. I now know why Henley refers to you as one of their best and most professional facilitators.

Lots of Energy!

Sharon was very friendly and had lots of energy and a very good attitude. I have realised that everybody behaves in a different way and we need to find an appropriate way to deal with individual clients. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt more than expected.
