Silvana has been delivering training for over 12 years to many organisations across various industries, specialising in Health & Safety related topics, Health & Social Care training and Employee and Leadership Development programmes.
Thank you, Silvana, for another amazing training session. We really appreciate your kindness to support our charity. The training was informative, fun and gave us the opportunity to learn new skills and gain confidence which will enhance our presentation skills. Thank you.
Thank you to Silvana for supporting Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice with her training session at the back end of last year. We found the day to be really enjoyable and really liked the way that Silvana had a range of training techniques included throughout the morning opposed to PowerPoint slide after PowerPoint slide. It offered a good opportunity for us all to reflect on our own strengths whilst highlighting areas for development which, going forward, will make us a stronger team.
Silvana is amazing at what she does. This is a woman who always goes above and beyond to provide the best training there is. Her knowledge and skills are top of the game. Highly recommended.
