"Penny came to Ireland and inspired us with her wonderful teaching, sense of fun and deep understanding of the concept of NVC. Her way of sharing brought NVC alive in a way that opened hearts and minds to a new concept of communication and left the participants wanting more!  I am grateful to Penny for her efficiency, organisation and care of the details in advance planning and the delivery of her workshop."
Sarah Bird, Personal Development Consultant.

"Sharing NVC training sessions with Penny has proven a great source of inspiration to me over the 2 years I have known her. I feel confident that I have learnt NVC further by watching and hearing Penny drive her workshops using the richness of her expertise and fluency as well as the bottom of her heart. Penny's authenticity and integrity with NVC are a tribute to the founders of NVC. In working with her on organising NVC trainings in Ireland, I have also valued the professionalism of her approach from preparation all the way to finish and follow-up."
Laure Fau, Business Coach

"It has always been a real pleasure to work with Penny in my role as Education Adviser. Penny has delivered INSET to a group of headteachers in our diocese and has facilitated meetings with class teachers. I have also attended workshops and support groups which she has led.
Penny has the ability to communicate with warmth, humour and relevance and the quality of her input is of a very high standard. She maintains a professional perspective while relating to participants in an authentic and inclusive manner which is challenging not only to the teacher's own practice in the classroom but also to experiencing the NVC values in daily life. Penny has the ability to engage with people from the heart and her enthusiasm for NVC is contagious! "
Anne Darby, Religious Education Adviser for Salford Diocese

"Penny has planned and provided training at our nursery school over the past 2 years. I would highly recommend her as a trainer. Her combined knowledge of both early years and NVC adds to the quality of the training. Penny has tailor made training that is relevant to our setting and our particular staff development needs. Penny is experienced in delivering training and supports the group skilfully.  She combines practical sessions to learn and use new skills as well as a high level of up to date research which helps staff gain a deeper understanding of child development and the importance of the quality of the relationships. Most importantly her sessions are fun.  They are well planned with variety to keep everyone's attention and interest, throughout the day.

Penny is passionate about the early years and the quality of practice that will really support staff, children and families. She is very approachable, puts staff and families at ease and is full of great ideas as well as a depth to her thought. She "lives the model of NVC" and helps others to also gain this awareness and practice. She is supportive in reflecting on practice and suggesting ways forward."
Elaine Fullerton, Headteacher, Hope Cottage Nursery School, Edinburgh

"This process has changed my life…I cannot imagine living life without it! I am using NVC with my family and in my work life as a teacher…wherever I go it enables me to focus on what's important - Penny thank you for the way you shared NVC with us."
Jenny Lister, parent and teacher
