“I have been really impressed with James and the delivery of his Networking Skills Training for myself and my colleagues recently. The training was well pitched across the hierarchy of staff present and it really gave everyone something to think about, whether they considered themselves competent at networking or not. Feedback has been great and I wouldn’t hesitate to use James’ services in the future for other professional skills training”
