Very well delivered seminar. Thought the information was relevant and interesting and got me thinking so well done.

A very polished presentation with some interesting research that has been developed into an interesting proposition.

Although the topic was not highly relevant to me in my particular role I found Birthe's talk to be very interesting.
Submitted by Christine Waddington
A very good speaker and I particularly liked the interactive bits and the way that she only gave a couple of minutes to discuss. I enjoyed her approach although I didn't learn anything new.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Berthe about such an interesting topic. I felt that the really key points (for us to prioritise) could have been slightly clearer.

Felt on this occasion that the talk was essentially a 'sales pitch'. However, the opportunity and venue were good for networking purposes.

Birthe gave a strong and clear presentation, and involved the group effectively in discussion groups. The event was very up-beat and covered a good range of material. Although something of a 'sales pitch' for her organisation, the valuable content shared was appreciated by the participants, and prompted some useful discussions.
