“I very strongly recommend that everyone passing through University, no matter their long-term ambitions, should attend this course. I would like to take this opportunity to mention that all of Joanna’s courses are fascinating and transformative. Attending them, my scope and skill-set have broadened so much. Indeed, I consider Joanna’s courses to make for a self-contained and transformative course on their own, and I feel very fortunate indeed to be able to attend them during my PhD. They combine knowledge base, personality skills, promoting a culture of learning for life, as well a sense of ethos, and an awareness for where we stand as individuals and as members of our respective educational and professional communities, both academic and non-academic. Many thanks once again!”

“Joanna’s method and approach, as well as the sense of community that transpires Joanna’s courses, proves that a virtual platform can be used most effectively and to no lesser degree for the delivery of an interactive and inspiring workshop.”
