Alison and Sophie have extensive industry experience and really understand development and how to demystify it. As a result the takeaway is practical and relevant\, and we are given tools that we can apply across all our development work. It is a fantastic framework and I believe the confidence the workshop has given us will translate into commissions\, which is ultimately what it’s all about.

Alison and Sophie have extensive industry experience and really understand development and how to demystify it. As a result the takeaway is practical and relevant\, and we are given tools that we can apply across all our development work. It is a fantastic framework and I believe the confidence the workshop has given us will translate into commissions\, which is ultimately what it’s all about.
