Testimonials

„The soft skill workshop was amazing! I liked the fact that you knew your audience. You knew that you were dealing with ‘mature students’. This to me was a very strong point about your approach. You did not fill it with very many slides. Each slide had a very specific purpose. The examples from past proposals that we discussed were very helpful. I also think the fact that we were working on real proposals also helped. This meant that the training had an immediate purpose for us. We had to make sure that we pay attention so that we could apply the skills gained immediately.“

Dr. Michael LubwamaMakerere University, Uganda
