"...We have seen many facilitators both within the program and elsewhere... and I'm aware that it was not an easy group. You were GREAT."
Dr Bronwyn Gould, Sydney Leadership Alumni 2000

From a series of 2-day workshops with a public service organisation during a period of great upheaval, restructuring and retrenchments.

"...a very effective style, which was conscious of bringing all theoretical and case studies back to practical application. The challenges put forward made everyone really think and analyse and assess how to move forward".

"I would like to thank Cindy for her unbelievable ability to enthuse all participants and especially her ability to motivate me"

"Cindy Tonkin is a great trainer. She kept the groups interested and involved. She also had great stories, real life happenings to link in with the different topics covered. She didn't lecture us, she involved us".

From a 30-minute showcase presentation. Attendees were asked to rate presentation out of 20. All feedback was anonymous.

"[Cindy did] Just about everything [well]. She was enthusiastic and motivating and the session was interesting and educational. 19/20"

"Established enthusiasm and interest amongst the group. All concepts were tied together well and expectations and outcomes were clearly stated. Made participants feel comfortable. 17/20"

"Enthusiastic, got everyone involved; use of colour and music. We accomplished a lot in a half-hour! 19/20"

"Fabulous structure, pace, great use of variety of visuals, plenty of colour and movement 19/20"

"Great enthusiasm - obviously loves her subject. Good use of music and other stimulus. Clear outcomes and followed through on them. 18/20"

"She has the ability to empathise with a company's needs so that the resulting proposal meets realistic requirements, also from a client's perspective she becomes fully committed to the task at hand, is very enthusiastic, and makes people seem enthusiastic"

"Her approach is both global/strategic and tactical as well. She takes ownership, gets involved in the business, and really knows the customers and the machinations of the people. She adapts into the organisation and becomes part of it"

"...[has the] ability to quickly appraise the problem and move to an action plan for resolution"

"She challenges people's thinking"

"Quickly and adeptly recognising my need as a client and catering to it. High level of intelligence. Makes learning stimulating and fun"

"She takes the time to understand people's comments, not just a "oh yeah, I know what you mean" without fully taking it in".

" I just wanted to congratulate you on an excellent session – it was informative, interactive and fun. Importantly, since the workshop I have heard Team Managers actively talking about it and the process etc...I was particularly impressed with how interactive it was, and the way everyone shared their ideas, experiences etc. Well done and thanks!"

From her public course What successful consultants want to keep secret

"...enormous drive, enthusiasm and passion - got me to see how I've been bogged down and need to focus back on passion".

"Right from the day I received the brochure through to the final farewell, the level of attention to detail, the focus on quality and the care given to truly add value have been evident. It was one of the best investments I have ever made - both professionally and personally."

"Easily the best-organised, most informative seminar I have attended in my career".

"Thank you so much for your frank and insightful workshop on consulting last Wednesday. You have a transparent and refreshing approach which I found inspiring."
Gordana Blazevic, Independent Consultant Brisbane

"Cindy guided us through a maze of concepts and techniques with skill & enthusiasm; her passion is so apparent that you can't help but be bitten by 'the NeLPing bug'."

"The greatest benefit for me has been becoming much more conscious about HOW I do what I do as a facilitator, and using this heightened awareness to create optimal learning environments for others."
Angie Virtue
Axis People Development Facilitators

"I want to thank you for your great support on Saturday. I have to say that you are an exceptional person, with a great sense of humour, and that you put people at ease and help them enjoy even the difficult and challenging moments. At least, that's how I experienced your support."

"If you are looking to find out the key points about what NLP is and what it isn't I'd highly recommend that you attend this workshop"
Jeffery Stibbard

"The presentation was dynamic, professional and gave me practical tools which I used immediately."
Meaghan Hill

"This is a hugely stimulating and insightful course, which has been beneficial to me on both a personal and professional level. The focus on practical application makes the program instantly relevant and applicable in a business context. Cindy is a lively presenter and her enthusiasm for NLP is quite infectious! "
Jackie Rado

"Thank you for such an enlightening day content wise and energetically. The group seemed quite diverse and you both managed to connect so well with everyone. Nothing like your infectious fun and humour to keep us all rolling along - oh - and the great stories!"
Jenny Dixon-Elliott

"I constantly use NLP in my role as a Corp. Consultant and Trainer... I am more than happy to speak with anyone, at any time , who requires evidence of the power of N.L.P. in a corporate environment,and the ability to add to the 'bottom line' using the principles. Again, Cindy, thank you for your dedication, passion and efforts during the programmes and the added dimension of the constant help and support which you gave to everyone on an ongoing basis which allowed us to integrate the information..."
Kerrie Cottrill Trainer

"The NLP programme led by Cindy was well worth the investment. My skills as a Training Consultant have jumped to a new level due to a greater understanding of people and more enhanced language skills that have allowed me to build stronger rapport more quickly with my clients...The programme is highly interactive, stimulating and I found the richness of the experience to be very motivating."
Laura Templin, Consultant,
Mercuri International

"...You take presenting and facilitating beyond Mastery, into the ARTISTRY arena. Very pretty to watch. Thank you for your warmth, enthusiasm and dedication to creating a dynamic learning environment.
Ian Stephens.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say how fabulous Cindy Tonkin is. I found her to be informative and delightful. Throughout the whole 9 days she shared her insights, passions, dedication and knowledge. I not only enjoy what she was training but enjoyed studying the way she did it. It's scarey how much information she programmed into my brain without me even noticing... Cindy is a true craftsman/artist when it comes to delivering information.
