Feedback
“We had the pleasure of welcoming John as a guest speaker to our Employment Support Programme at Ability Works where he delivered an engaging and interactive session about public speaking. He generously volunteered his time more recently to take part in conducting mock interviews with our participants. He approached these interviews in a calm, professional manner and provided excellent, constructive feedback to each participant. Thank you, John, for your time.”
