The seminar is an effective platform for discussing organizational goals and strategies relating to community and stakeholder engagement and helps decision makers get the best value from a public participation process. The seminar looks at the foundations of authentic engagement from a decision maker’s point of view and offers a perspective on how public participation can be integrated into the overall project plan.

Not only knowledgeable but very entertaining. Nothing is worse than a boring trainer and Jessica is nothing close to boring and made the sessions go quickly but very engaged.

The content I found most enjoyable to learn was your approach to how you host your training space! Your stories are very relational. You are a change champion and ally.

Jessica was a fantastic facilitator – truly demonstrated best practice while leading the training. Just having the chance to watch her work was a learning in itself.

Presenter was engaging, materials were well presented. Different tools were used to facilitate and assist different type of learning (videos, graphics, sharing experiences).

Improvement CoordinatorVancouver, May 2019, iap2 Foundations

Jessica Delaney was an excellent facilitator who was not just engaging but full of wisdom and practical advice. The content was broad, but she delivered it expertly and never lost the room’s attention. In my role in marketing, I have new tools and directly applicable strategies to gain a better understanding of stakeholder needs.

A refresher on what real engagement means and its power.
