WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Sleeping Giants are our go-to people for all things organisational development and we have particularly welcomed their input at our annual trustee development events as we continually work towards high standards of governance. Rebecca brings a wealth of knowledge and a warm non-prescriptive delivery style that enables participants to safely enquire, encourages respectful debate and fosters empowerment.”
"It was interesting and the trainers engaged with the participants in meaningful ways, for example they linked the training directly to how it might benefit specific parts of individual organisations. In essence the made the training relevant”
