“Very kind and helpful presenter, it was interesting learning about positive and negative language use and I definitely have been more conscious of my use of this, not only with customers but also within my personal life too! I felt positively refreshed and reset after a long period of time stuck within the same 4 walls working from home. Thank you.”
