“The course was excellent. Kevin’s skills as a presenter and professional came across throughout the day. He encouraged group participation and respected everything that was contributed. Kevin could reflect on what we had said and link this with aspects of his presentation and the topic of Hidden Shame which was a great help. The links he gave us in the slides will be a terrific resource as will the ‘sign post’ to educational articles.”

“Trainer was excellent, easy to listen to, very knowledgeable but not in an overpowering way, loved his examples and clear passion for the topic at hand .. course length was perfect. I certainly felt like I came away with a much deeper understanding of shame and how multi-faceted it is .. I will definitely bring this training into my work and feel more confident in doing so.”
