Customer Testimonials
“Belinda was amazing – no question was too hard, no problem was too difficult to solve. We threw a couple of curveballs in terms of turning a F2F into a hybrid, but she was able to handle with ease and calm. Delivery of the session was tailored to our needs and our specific scenarios.”
“This experience was a great insight and learning around the many uses of Microsoft Teams and Planner. Belinda was very engaging and personable and really took the time to explain the many uses and functions. Great training, explanation of the different functions and how to adapt this into our work-life. Looking at the overall benefits of streaming work tasks, etc through Microsoft Teams and Planner to make our day more efficient, easier to manage and effective.”
