“The NPQLT has certainly given me the confidence to lead a subject, and I don't think this confidence would have came without doing the NPQ with Odyssey and Balcarras TSH. It allowed me to think of things I never considered, perhaps most importantly, how to convey information to a staff that ranges in learning abilities, age, gender and experience. This was something that I was able to plan out thanks to the NPQ, and deliver successful staff meetings that allow all staff to understand the vision and the next steps of what I wanted them to do.
