Testimonials

Naomi Greenwood - Chair Jewish Teacher Training Programme

I really want to thank you for the wonderful speech/entertainment you gave us last week. In discussion afterwards, we all agreed that you had given the audience a wonderful time (not such a frequent occurrence at this sort of thing) and, the teachers particularly, some really valuable lessons to remember. I think, your lack of familiarity with the Jewish community must have been rather unnerving but you put such a lot of work into the evening that nobody is going to forget it . As I said to you then, we were very privileged to have you there, you made it a very special occasion.

Hazel Barron-Cooper, Hub Education Officer, Tyne & Wear Museums

Thanks for a wonderful session on Friday at the Laing Art Gallery Newcastle. It was very lively and informative and a great contrast to our morning of powerpoints! Great to meet you, thanks for your effort in actually getting here from Bristol. Hope you have recovered. Good luck in all you do - waiting for the next tv series.

Frances Hendrix, The Laser Foundation

 You were fantastic., the young panel loved you, and amazingly (Shouldn't really say that), the librarian feedback has been terrific on you., they saw the relevance and the insight into young people. You were a great kicker off, and we greatly appreciated you staying and participating. many many thanks.

Lucy Hargreaves, BP Leadership Programme

We met very briefly last week at the BP Leadership event. I will be taking responsibility from Jason for organising future programmes and I wanted to send you a note to say how much I enjoyed your talk. You certainly had an impact and got the participants thinking in a different way. So, thank you. I do hope we will be able to work together in the future.
