"The quality of self inquisition brought about the leadership development course has taken me to places, in my thinking, where no other course has taken me. She (Dennise Hilliman) is very encouraging and supportive. She constantly reminds me that focousing on the positives is the best way forward. I have learnt so much from our sessions which have taken on board and used to support others in my network."
