Koru: a Maori symbol of transformation and change  

 

“I had a wonderful working day with Gill on negotiation, leadership management, body language and communication style. Thorough out the session with Gill I was able to learn self-management, negotiation and working under pressure as these are very essential for my current job with United Nations Development Programme for Iraq. I have started applying what I have learnt day to day and shared my knowledge with my colleagues at my office. I would like to thank you Gill for sharing your knowledge and experience with me.”
