practitioner and his use of humour gives great value to the session and
enables the audience to connect in an open and honest manner."

"A spectacular performance, including
speaking up, bullying culture, poor clinical care and detective work.
Rob played all fifteen characters and then led a training session which
led to really honest conversations about barriers to speaking up."
Henrietta Hughes, National Freedom to Speak Up Guardian
"A wonderful presentation... the delegate's feedback was really positive and it felt really relevant and practical to the process of speaking up, as well as the reality."
