Timothy Swan is a skilled speaker and workshop facilitator who's engaging manner really delivered when he recently worked with one of our school leadership teams. He was able to distill complex information and make it informative and enjoyable for our school leaders. The session went so well that after running out of time at the end of the day the school leaders asked if Timothy could stay longer and work with them which he was more than happy to do. I would not hesitate to work with Timothy again.
