I

I learnt what Economic

important for First Nations to get involved in the process. The trainer
was
very knowledgeable, entertaining, understandable and provided a lot of
information. Fun
to learn while
in the session.
Informative and easily
understood.
Rolf is very energetic
he has
many stories to tell and share
with the group so that learning is made fun. Story
telling is a great way to learn! Rolf
does
it very well! Rolf
really brought
things in to perspective for me in
regards to what needs there are in the First Nations and how to combat
them.
His enthusiasm,
character
made my time with him quite enjoyable. In
addition the way he showed the
financials made it very easy to
understand for everyone.
It was a
pleasure to have him as a coach. Leadership
Coaching
was great as well as Strategic

suggest course for all EDO's. I

very useful knowledge to have for
our organization and community.
Rolf is a
very gifted and
insightful teacher! Chi-miigwetch! I
enjoyed the way
the information which can be somewhat
complex was striped down so that we can use it to more easily work for
youth
and for under-educated. It
doesn't have to be that difficult and this is what will be most
important and
effective when working with clients and community.
Excellent
ability to make me feel
at ease in the
subject.
He made me feel
like I
can do this – Thank You. Simple Steps to Business Plan with the entrepreneur, so they will understand and participate. Enjoyed the Strategic Plan and 6 Hats – simple and very precise.
