The use of charts and sticky notes has shown me that there are better ways to illustrate and think about ideas instead of typing on the computer etc.
Food was good, ha ha!
I thought it was really good. To me it felt like it's more a course about how to be a good person. Which I think is good because a lot is missing. It added a lot of value to me but I wouldn't see it as a core project management course.

Great introduction to project management for someone with no prior experience.
Frank was great! Informative and used several real life examples.

Loved the workshop itself & content shared. Nothing to do with the workshop itself. Just a ling couple of days, found myself losing focus after 2pm

Thanks Frank and Kerry. Super engaging and practical course with heaps of good practical tips to implement.
The workshop was awesome so much shown. My suggestion (and don't have to follow it) is with the different acronyms, principles and paradigms, could we do something activitiy wise so we're able to connect e.g DOSAC activities, Personally as someone whos a hands on learner will connect more.
Great presentation.
Really good, learnt heaps.

Engaging, relevant, positive, chocolates
It was great to learn some project management techniques, although would have liked to see more explanation around the academic concepts, e.g. stakeholder analysis (maybe pre-readings?).
The course was run well and had an excellent way it was ran.
This course gave me a good overall learning of processes, and tools I can use that are practical, easy and quick. Awesome!
Awesome day, lots of learning. Improving time strategies.
Structured. Friendly. Lots of good content to takeaway. Templates provided.
Outstanding facilitation of a topic that was more than 'introduction' and more than 'Project Management'
It was satisfying.
Valued the overview/workshop and new learnings and affirming what I know.
Contextualizing a lot of the information was often difficult for me and my role situation in the organisation, which had me losing track of where we were at times, but still very very beneficial
Enthusiastic and exceptionally knowledgeable.
Fun, engaging workshop. I was expecting some fairly dry theory but have had a great 2 days - thanks!
Excellent workshop, great content, ideas and tools
Ka pai! Informative and relateable.
Excellent interaction. Very well presented
Well presented and practical. Should be able to keep up with where projects are at much more easily
Overall the whole course was interesting and there was definitely some good learnings for me.
Awesome workshop, simple effective tools and great presentation.
Good to have a double team allowing focus on the presentation not distracted organising next phase.
I will be using a scrum board to get a picture of all projects on the go and tasks.
I really enjoyed the workshop, learnt a lot. Will take what I learnt back to my workplace.
Excellent!
Great content. Excellent presenting

Loved the facilitation and content. Immediate value add!
Great course, I have minimal experience with project planning but have a solid understanding after this course

Engaging - kept things moving nicely! Lots of breaks from sitting down etc
Fun, great content. Great workshop, thanks for using mine as one of the examples.
Excellent, easy to follow steps for great project management that doesn't need to take that long.
Use of examples made content easy to understand and see how it applies directly
Really good presentation of PM strategies with practical applications and examples given.
Decision making is limited to upper levels therefore need to get ELT to take part in project planning but difficult to get time commitment.
I feel like I got a lot of practical lessons that are easily transferable to a wide range of situations.
More from the course was relevant for me than I thought might be.
Good although quite long.

A very entertaining and engaging two day session with Frank - who is a good facilitator. I learnt a lot which I can apply to my life.
This really consolidated my earning from the business case training and gave me some understanding of overall project management.
After Day 1, I was utterly and completely lost - for a variety of reasons - But Day 2 has been much better . Some participants would need 5 days to take in content (I needed more than 2 days)
Easy to use tools for project management and day to day.
Really thorough project management overview with many tools to use in real life situations
Learnt a lot of new skills/tools and felt like I achieved my objectives for the workshop.
Really, really great course. I've learnt a lot as a project manager.
I have no PM experience so in a couple of areas I struggled to understand. Otherwise was an amazing workshop.
Because people could self-select for this workshop everyone deals with quite different levels of projects - meaning some people were more engaged/less engaged for certain sections that were relevant to them.
Great course.
Informative, good tools suggested and demonstrated over and over to encourage memory (while being entertaining and angaging)
For myself who would use these skills on small projects within my own team some concepts went over my head. Although I like how it relates back to council. Simpler terms would have made it easier to sink in.
Excellent workshop - learnt loads and had fun in the process.
Some relevant information for construction industry. Some tailored more for government departments.
Perfect.
Engaging, content was very accessible.
Kept me engaged.
I found the overall day interesting. I will never look at charts and post-it notes the same again.
Quite high level approach
Great, practical tools.
Course was relative and delivered in a way that we were engaged.
Absolutely satisfied!
I feel a lot more comfortable in my role as a Project Manager. I can also use some of the other info, i.e. DESCA, in my role as a people manager.

Good update - fast review which was great.
Very informative but in a fun way
You are a great and entertaining presenter.
Dynamic and interesting
Great training. Lots of life learning lessons.
Coming to do a course like this, you always consider the possibility that it is going to be a waste of time? or boring!! This course was neither of these. Having never done PM before, I now feel like I could run a project with ease.
Excellent
Really enjoyed it. I have done a one day project management course before and got nothing out of it, so I was hesitant this time! Also I struggle to stay focussed for long periods of time but didn?t struggle here!

Frank is good to listen to as he is clearly passionate about the subject matter and presents in a clear and concise manner.
Very good workshop.
Some bits I might struggle to apply in a real-world situation - problem solving is usually more immediate than taking a full-team consultation approach. Look forward to using some of these principles when managing discrete projects.
Great presentation.
Very informative and knoweldgeable
Very good course with practical tools.
A lot of information to take in, in just 2 days.

Really helpful and I have learnt some great skills and tools. Super helpful workshop!
Workshop was presented amazing and understood clearly
As someone whoe knew nothing about project management, the first day was a challenge and it was not until I did the practical PM plan that I understood the content. Day 2 was good to consolidate and learn from others' PM plans.
I will email in more comments. This course was fantastic!
Great information.
Clear, concise, presented in a fun way
I was at a slight disadvantage on Day 1 as I hadn't been on the first (half day) course. Would have been useful as I did not understand some of the discussion on the morning of Day 1.
It was engaging, interesting and dynamic. Lots of fun.
Great, informative workshop. Good practical examples.
Great facilitation
Mix of listening and active participation

Very good course with lots of great content and ideas.
Very useful information
Fun workshop, clear and relevant, facilitator who made the learnings relateable.
Brilliant. There was a lot to absorb so I will be viewing website link. Is also advantageous to have other staff atttending from same organisation.
I didn't get a breakdown of what this was about so didn't really know what to expect. I'm sure the full day is fantastic.
Very good - enjoyed it in all aspects
It was good to have done the short course prior to this one.
Great set of tips and tricks that can be easily adopted in every day situations.
More time to cover aspects further to not feel rushed

Comprehensive coverage on all the things I wanted to know.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this workshop. It was simple techniques which can be applied in my role and therefore of value to me. Enjoyable.
More time
Well facilitated; with a good focus on learnings.
Entertaining stories and useful tools
Real examples very helpful.
Does not really fit with my position but I did learn a lot that I will try to fit in
Really enjoyable, learnt a bunch of different techniques.
Good course, Frank is a very engaging trainer and made it interesting. For me it was more of a refresher but I think it was really useful for my manager to hear key messages, as I was surprised by the lack of project management since joining NCC 3 months ago.
I have really enjoyed this. I've felt confidence in that my gut instincts have been right.
Good 2 days training and learning some new tools and how my own experience may align to a council setting.
