Recommend Samantha Robert Crow Robert Crow Owner Robert is a warm, engaging and highly supportive trainer who is highly skilled in assisting people from a variety of backgrounds to effectively learn. He has a high level of knowledge relating to all aspects of training including writing modules and assessments, record keeping and reporting. He is very innovative and creative, designing training tools and assessments which actively engage participants in their own learning; and which supports them to transfer their new found skills to employment settings. I would highly recommend Rob as a trainer for any environment from early school leavers right through to corporate training groups. April 6, 2012, Samantha was Robert's client Leigh Robinson Leigh Robinson Executive Coach & Field Sales Mentoring Specialist Leigh is a highly professional and supportive business coach who is both intuitive and empathetic in his approach. The diversity of his personal business and entrepreneurial experience allows him to take a very creative, dynamic and innovative approach to problem solving; and because of this he is able to help 'mentees' consider a large number of business options and perspecitives. I personally found Leigh to be very energetic, dynamic and easy to work with. His enthusiasm is infectious and he leaves you feeling positive and ready for anything. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone seeking business coaching. April 6, 2012, Samantha was Leigh's client Grant Downie Grant Downie Principal We hired Grant to work with the Board of Directors of our company, and myself to further develop our governance and strategic planning processes. He had a high level of expertise, knowledge and experience in these areas and delivered us really relevant training and support that he personalised to our organisational needs. His research and preparation for the training ensured he had a high level of understanding of our organisation; and was able to structure the training so that it was delivered at an appropriate level and in a way that encouraged active participation. All participants provided feedback that they both found the training highly valuable, and that it was extremely enjoyable and interesting.
