Testimonials

Excellent speaking, topic and content were well suited to audience and delivery was personable and honest.
City of Swan

I am writing to personally thank you for speaking at our recent forum for journalists and student journalists…. Evaluations tell us journalists found the event both interesting and informative, with many now realising their words can directly affect people experiencing violence.
Dept for Community Development

I was extremely impressed with Ms O’Neill’s skills as a trainer and her ability to get people to engage with and deeply reflect on the topic. … The formal feedback process saw staff give the sessions some of the highest feedback ever recorded for an internal training session. Further, I received numerous unsolicited informal comments from staff about how the training had affected them and challenged in a positive way their views and how they work. As a result of the training, I saw some tangible changes in staff attitudes and practices.

I just wanted to say how brilliant it was seeing you. Your presentation was electrifying, the feedback from the students was very positive and many made specific mention of your presentation in the written feedback. The course went very well...and your contribution played a huge part in making it successful.
Hope to see you before too long. Good luck with all the fantastic work you do of victims.
