Participant feedback
"Feedback from the other members really helped me to boost my confidence."
"I attended last night's meeting and really really enjoyed it. Being in a team environment allowed me to notice areas I need to work on more. Everyone also seemed very patient and non-judgemental, which was great!"
"The feedback from other participants was encouraging and helpful. I also learned from the others by listening to and watching their presentations."
