‘From my initial enquiry, Ngozi was very helpful and informative about what they could provide for our session. They were able to adapt their workshop to our company needs for which we are very grateful. On the day of the workshop, both Ngozi and Obehi were really friendly and again adapted how they presented so our US teams could join in too. Our staff found the session really helpful and opened their minds to new ways of thinking and working. As this session was part of our Week, Aurora’s workshop turned out to be the highlight of the week for most of the team. I would definitely recommend working with Ngozi and Obehi, both very experienced, professional and down to earth women. Let’s do it again sometime!’
