Life-changing. Honestly, a life-changing course which should be mandatory for anyone involved with young people.

It was outstanding, it made me reflect on heroism, power and authority. I believe the message regarding heroism being portrayed in daily acts of kindness, consideration and active positivity regularly and in an honest manner was inspiring, also the concept that it is in everyone's power to be a hero daily at least to one person was beautiful.

The research, audio visual resources and particularly the presentation were all excellent. I have been to dozens of training seminars and workshops and this has to be one of the best thought through and facilitated events I have been to. Congratulations on a truly excellent day.
