Your tasks and responsibilities within the team

I was the lead trainer in this project, co-facilitating with a colleague from Cyprus. I designed the program and did the final selection of methods. We held several preparatory meetings in order to support him before the delivery, I provided coaching and mentoring during and post-delivery of his workshops.

I worked on this training for 7 days as a full time trainer.
