The Resource Mobilisation Workshop was packed with brilliant information, advice and lots of resources.
Importantly, I learned how to better manage line items in budgets. E.g. how to calculate all costs in and to adapt overheads/operational costs to better meet donor funding requirements. Also, the idea of offering consulting services was highly valuable.
I am definitely interested in attending more seminars.
In the Creative Facilitation workshop I learned that slowing down is critical to finding and nurturing my creativity and innovativeness. I was reminded that in order to change the world, one must begin at the individual level.
The content was rich and thought provoking and the sessions were strategically paced. Learning about various facilitation approaches has radically transformed my approach to work. I also realised that viral change begins with one small act!
I loved it! And that which I love, will lead me to my purpose.
Informative. Empowering. I feel energised to engage with my staff.
The PR, Media and Marketing workshop challenged the functionality of our brand and sharpened our skills!
