“Last session was fantastic and inspiring as I was totally blown out of mind by the vibe of the workshop. I have had a different perspective towards life and value. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
"About the last workshop 'Boosting your confidence in job searching' I have to say it was a very helpful instance to be part of, professional and personal speaking. It was not just about the information provided, but the way Keneti facilitated the session, and how he made us part of it, the best part of the workshop. Therefore, about the outcomes of the session, I took some valuable insights with me to keep working and pursuing my goals. Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this kind of workshop, hopefully, more people can be involved and seize the opportunity as well."
"Thank you very much for the opportunity! It was an incredible and memorable workshop, I felt very welcomed, and I met many people who had the same feelings as me, insecure when applying for a vacancy and doing interviews.

“Thank you very much for the workshop. It was great! I loved the way Camila gave us many examples and told us stories so we’re aware of what to do and what not to do. To be fully dressed in a video call interview, to fill out all parts of Seeks’s account, to use networking, not to say ‘Perfectionist’ in the weaknesses question. Absolutely amazing and motivational. You guys have valuable knowledge.”
