What Our Clients Have to Say


  • Sarah - University of Queensland

    "I came to the programme with the knowledge of many of the online technical tools (jam board, white board, mentimeter, etc), but looking to learn how to facilitate group discussions, not just online but in general. I've learned tools to intervene in a debate and how to use the online tools in a way that encourages and boosts the participation and discussion of the course, guiding the class to reach the purpose of the course. I feel more confident now that I actually could facilitate a course."

  • Lecturer - Centre for Socially Responsible Mining

    "I think Simone's role was an endorsement as it was not just a talking head or outsourcing the work but it was facilitation in action and some training. So learn by doing and observing. So the process is good. I like the clip from the movie on golf. It is good to have clips like this to give you something to think about. "

  • Sarah Holcombe - CSRM, University Queensland

    "Simone was a powerful and effective teacher and facilitator. I participated in her course and she was also engaged as a facilitator for a major international Zoom Forum. She was excellent at both. At the Forum she really provided a strong backbone to the structure and flow, while also ensuring that it remained dynamic and authentic. I look forward to engaging Simone again for future forums. "
