Testimonials for Jeff Austin

“I would personally like to acknowledge your contribution to the success  of the recent 2008 Small Business Centre Network Conference. The bringing together of 26 managers and chairs from around Western Australia poses not just logistical but also facilitation challenges in dealing with a range of differing views and personalities. Your ability to read this diverse group of people and maintain their interest and contributions is a credit to your facilitation style and professionalism. We look forward to the Small Business Centre Network working with you in the future.” Stephen Moir – Managing Director – Small Business Development Corporation WA
