“It was great working with you Natacha, We were loking for someone who would be a neutral party who could design our meeting agenda for our retreat. You really understood what we wanted to achieve and helped us articulate this in clear goals and themes for the day retreat. Thank you for all your support, helping us keep discussions moving, ensuirng everyone contributed and giving us the chance to develop our strategy. It was also wonderful to read your report which provided a strong summary of insights and priorities identified through our discussions. As we move forward, we will definitely be back in touch if another opportunity arises, to take advantage of your facilitation skills and many other expertise. It was really such a treat on the day, to know that the pre-work had been done and someone else was taking care of the room and facilitation !”
