We were delighted to have Simone not only as one of the two first LUCKY CHANGEMAKER recipients, but also as our first ever workshop in Berlin. He brought a great positive energy into the LUCKY weekend and managed to adapt his program very quickly to the given situation of participants, meaning that he sensed immediately what the group needed on that specific day. His way of communicating is very clear and motivating." |
