"I had the pleasure of attending my first in-person development course in May of this year. 'Leadership Communication for Results' was held over 3 days in the beautiful Smurfit campus in Blackrock. What a fantastic experience collaborating with a class of fellow professionals. The course was run by the incredibly engaging Barbara Moynihan who really facilitated a dynamic learning environment. As we move from a virtual to a more blended in-person working environment I couldn't recommend this course highly enough."

The course was highly interactive and the facilitators - who were excellent - kept our entire cohort very engaged throughout our time together. by the end of three days, you could see significant improvement in Everyone’s skill level.
