I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you Ian for coming out and facilitating four back to back workshops for us on "Letting go is the only way to hold on - simple steps to empower, innovate and make an impact without leaving your desk". Not only has the feedback from the 90 odd staff that attended been incredibly positive but the conversations that have developed from this session are extremely productive to our organisation and how we move forward into the future. I personally found your workshop very entertaining and informative and look forward to working together again
Ian's knowledge of what makes people tick has been gained by spending many years both in Australia and overseas working with a diverse range of people across multiple cultures and ages.

Candor Training contributed to our annual goal setting weekend in the role of coordinator. The staff related very well to his relaxed and engaging manner and got a lot out of his team building exercises and his involvement in developing their goals and the strategies to fulfill them. Candor Training also followed staff up after the event to keep them on track. I would certainly recommend Candor Training if you a looking for a professional trainer to help motivate your team and provide a sounding board for yourself in running the business.
The results that I saw from the businesses that attended your workshop was simply amazing.
