Nice words from nice people.

  • "Aden is an excellent facilitator, highly skilled at engaging a diverse group and creating a very safe space for participants to get out of their comfort zones."

    Bethan Winn, Human Skills Co

  • "Aden helped build my confidence in thinking on my feet, learn how to listen from a point of curiosity, and to bring out a fun inner child that used to only reveal itself after two beers."

    Michael Watts, Profit and Purpose Thought Leader

  • "Aden brings nice psychological insight into how fun works, and how it frees us up to play. His workshops and classes have plenty of meat to them, but remain playful."

    Louise Southalan, Wungening Aboriginal Corporation

  • "The skills I have developed with Aden's guidance have enabled me to have deeper conversations, build stronger relationships and tackle challenging negotiations."
