Training participants say…
“Alice delivered exactly what I didn’t know I needed to know.”
“Amanda Newbery is the best trainer I have had to date. She was knowledgeable and engaging. She also went into the group work in Miro and made suggestions in the breaks – which has never ever happened before in a training course i have done with IAP2.”
“Enlightening and engaging. I learnt so much about what I can and should be doing, as well as about myself and how that impacts my work and engagement.”
“Incredible training experience. This is a conversation we all need to have. This course should be mandatory.”
Amanda is intelligent, warm and enthusiastic. She is principled as well as being pragmatic. A skilled facilitator, Amanda is much loved by her trainees. I know this because they tell me often. Amanda is clearly one of the most popular IAP2 trainers in Australia.
