"I found it important that there was a cross section of our Council attending your course - as you clearly insisted. In this sense I was equally surprised to acknowledge that the “voices and views” of my colleagues had found a way of entering my essay of the Mall. So thank you Andrew! Your course did have an impact on me!" Elio Gatti, Gosford City Council, June 2012 More information on Two day "in-house" corporate course... Seeking added value?

We minimise your risk by not committing unless you have the numbers required. We would be happy to help with marketing. For example - allow a budget of $10,000 for our two day course, venue, catering and equipment. You charge 25 participants $1,000 to attend (the amount is up to you) with the following benefits: This enables your organisation to generate $15,000 to cover your admin costs and further support your members. .
