Garren E – Fundamentals of Agile

Te Whatu Ora, Auckland

That was an absolute masterclass by Jacob. I appreciated his ability to provide content in a highly digestible format. I will forever remember his ability to keep the group engaged with his stories. I have attended multiple facilitator training courses and have personally facilitated many courses, but that was the best facilitation I have witnessed.

Del D – Fundamentals of Agile

Oranga Tamariki, Wellington

Jacob Creech facilitated one of the best trainings I’ve ever attended! From his facilitation style and overall positive tone to his content mastery and lived experience. This training was delivered above expectation in a way that will enable our team to feasibly utilise elements of AGILE rather quickly.
