Our Participants Say…

My master class – authentic, thoughtful, fun and well-paced – this was a great use of my time. My communications and engagement tool kit runneth over!

Director of Collaborative Engagement, VictoriaVirtual Academy, April 2022, Communicating for Engagement Course

Excellent, informative sessions that really hone in methods and strategies for improving engagement, managing risks and improving your ability to communicate with your audience overall.

Communications Coordinator, VictoriaVirtual Academy, April 2022, Communicating for Engagement Course

This course has given me the foundation to build more meaningful and valuable communication products to support future engagement projects.

Grant Research Analysis/Community Engagement, City of Quinte WestVirtual Academy, April 2022, Communicating for Engagement Course

This course sets a solid foundation for building out a communications plan that will lead to successful engagement – a must for any organization committed to meaningful and authentic engagement with their communities.

Communications Director, NanaimoVirtual Academy, November 2021, Communicating for Engagement

Jessica created a supportive environment for the group to look at how we communicate. I appreciated the open conversation. Words have always held value for me and being able to take a critical (but kind!) look at where I might be able to improve was so helpful.

Communications Officer, KingstonVirtual Academy, November 2021, Communicating for Engagement

This workshop was fantastic. I considered myself to be an effective communicator, knowledgeable about how to meaningfully engage. This workshop helped me realize I have much more to learn. I now have new ideas about how to more fully integrate patients’ and families’ lives experiences into our planning and decision-making.
