“11 out of 10…With very minimal input needed, Yvonne was able to tap into what we were wanting and what we wanted the team to take away from the workshops. On the actual day, Yvonne was engaging and was able to convert the cynics amongst the group and those that stated they weren’t creative! Fantastic techniques that we are using within the business most days! Thank you Yvonne best feedback I have had for a presenter yet!”
