"Rowena was a great instructor with great range and depth to her knowledge, but it was her kindness and gentle encouraging personality that I feel encouraged discussion, interaction and real learning and engagement. She created genuine engagement online in such a short time, I am truly impressed and grateful."

"I was skeptical when I first signed on but this was a very productive use of my time and I am grateful for the energy I feel after the webinar. The mixture of the content, Rowena, the participation of other passionate not profit leaders was infectious. I feel a renewed passion in our cause/work that Covid-19 and the isolated silos it has created has drained. Thank you."
