Geoff is a good presenter. I now know how to behave better in some situations, both privately and professionally. It takes practice, but geoff has shown us the way. It was exciting and not boring for a second. This was the first course I attended with geoff, but definitely not the last.

I felt the course was good, I did feel that role play may have been beneficial during this day as it allows individuals to see the difference before and after. That aside I think the course was delivered well.
