“I found yesterday evening's session on UBUNTU extremely insightful and impacting. I have known of and used the term UBUNTU on many occasions, in my own training and conversations. However, I did not realise there was so much more depth to this simple concept. I left the session with deeper knowledge, understanding and confidence”
