Testimonials

“At the end of the three-day session participants had developed a good foundation for three highly viable projects. More importantly, participants now have a solid grounding in the skills and thought processes needed to innovate practical development projects. Kudos to Tanya for a great job!”

“It was a fantastic session! Tanya is incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, and gave our group the perfect amount of theory, inspiration and time to craft our own innovative ideas in break out sessions.  Her passion for the topic is infectious and I would definitely recommend her!”

“After just one and a half days of work, colleagues managed to generate five prototypes as solutions to development problems as diverse as sustainable forest management, women’s economic empowerment, early warning systems, e-learning, and youth civic engagement.”

“Tanya Popeau was an extraordinary consultant. She had everyone engaged, breaking out of their mould of thinking and coming up with very out-of-the-box solutions. Her passion and energy was infectious. She praised but also pointed out where people fell short and got stuck in a traditional way of thinking..”

“Tanya Popeau offered an excellent programme…. Her presentation was clear, easy to follow, and focused. It was interactive and fun. Our team had discussed scaling for a while but needed specific information. This programme helped us understand the terminology, practices, and skills needed for scaling our projects. She provided a systematic approach for each stage and the tools were excellent.”

“Tanya delivered an excellent session! In focusing on innovation and sustainability, she spoke about some of the issues we had been exploring in the module, really bringing it to life. Tanya was able to engage and challenge the students to think further about the concepts and consequences of the topic at hand. Overall it was a fantastic interactive session of great benefit to students early on in their learning about sustainability.”
