We contracted with Michael to run a three hour workshop focused on the question of climate adaptation for those living in social housing in Sydney. The context for this workshop was a three year Linkage Project. To date we've worked with diverse residents living in three distinct parts of Sydney. The workshop where we engaged Michael brought all three of these communities together for the first time in addition to bringing in residents from the Mt. Druitt area who live in public housing. Michael helped us to review what we've learned together to date. From that he transitioned us into a activity focused on next steps in our ongoing collaborative research. This task involved listenin attentive, improvisation, bringing things into coherence and all in good humor. My colleagues and I were both impressed and very appreciative of the way Michael and Provocare coaching helped us to take this next step. I will be looking forward to a next opportunity to involve him in our ongoing research.

I enjoy the practical approach and high standard of professional experience that Michael brings to all of the work we have undertaken together. The recent Advocacy Skills Training that Michael delivered for social housing tenants that I'm working with was no exception. The program was well paced and respectful of the local experience in the room. Participants benefited from wide practical experience and tools that Michael presented to help them strengthen their skills and capabilities. I look forward to continuing to work with Provocare!

Provocare hit the mark with tailored training for our group. The facilitator, Michael, was great at drawing the best out of the participants and ensuring the pace of delivery was comfortable for all involved. Michael is definitely a subject matter expert when ti comes to NGO sector and advocacy.
