Testimonials
"We had an attendance of some 35 staff and managers attend the
well-structured, informative and professional presentation by Gender Centre staff, Dash
and Elizabeth. The interactive session had good audience participation and all issues that were
raised were adequately explained and the difficult questions answered. The presentation was
pitched at the right level for the audience and positive feedback was received from attendees.
Overall I rate the presentation and feedback from staff as very high. I would have no hesitation
in recommending the presentation to interested agencies.
Ken Sweeney, National Manager, Comcar.
"Elizabeth is a polished professional adult educator who encourages her
audience to be open minded, and leave their comfort zone. She has unique communication skills,
which enable her to read the audience and pitch her presentation, which on the one hand is
non-threatening, yet is stimulating and confronting. Her presentation is a must for
inclusion in all E.E.O.
awareness programs."
Narelle Stone,
E.E.O. Practitioner and
E.E.S.A. Member.

know how to."
