-Claire Diment, Australian Chamber Orchestra - 12/04/2023

I learnt a lot and have already applied many of the skills that I learnt.”

-Kathleen Donohue - 21/07/2023

-Danielle, Elserver

"Thank you Jackie so much again for putting together such an insightful presentation. As I mentioned, the feedback so far has been really positive and a few people I have spoken to in the office today have already made some tweaks to their default settings.
