"Daniela is a great presenter and provides some excellent strategies and resources during this course. It is helpful to anyone wishing to take on a mentoring role at school or just to have an insight into how to set boundaries for conversations with colleagues, goals for your own professional practice or mentoring staff. I highly recommend this course to others."
