Many years of experience

“Sam shared her many years of experience with us and helped us to understand the process of grant writing in a
clear, simple and succinct way.  The main benefit came from doing some grant writing, receiving individual feedback and interacting with Sam and other participants. After completing the workshop, participants indicated that they now feel more confident in in their ability to write a successful application.”

An advanced facilitator

“Sam is an advanced facilitator, spending time getting to know the audience and content prior to the event, which had a significant impact on her ability to apply her skilled approach to knowledge exchange and idea brokering throughout the workshop.
