A testimonial from a recent participant:

"I participated in a Building Potential program run by Faye for my Council.  It was invaluable in providing me with guidance in:

• Leading a team
• Team building
• Strategic planning
• Time management
• Understanding my strengths and weaknesses.

I made some wonderful friends as a result of this course. I would recommend anything run by Faye in a heartbeat.  She is extremely professional, skilled and inspiring.

Kind Regards,
