Very interesting... I learn a lot in your session

The tips shared to get out of burnout is good

James is able to cover such a big topic like burnout in such a clear manner

Stimulating and insightful.

James was an engaging speaker who shared openly about his own struggles in the past. He also gave practical yet detailed strategies in managing burnout.

It was a good chance to shine a light on an issue that most of us face. More importantly, there were constructive ideas on how to deal with this.

(It provided a good) opportunity for like-minded people to share and learn about their struggling experiences.

(It helped us to) increase self-awareness to better manage ourselves and the environment we are in.

Good presentation done and thorough explanation and exploration of topic.

The speaker presented his programme in a clear yet humourous manner.

The breakout sessions were excellent. Participants chatted freely as the dialogues provided them with a chance to get in touch with their inner selves.

I now understand more about burnout and how we need to have more conversations about it, so that all of us can be healthy physically and mentally.

Very informative materials from the speaker. The materials and his sharing of his experience with burnout help us better relate to and understand the content.

Organisational mental well-being is so important and today's session is a great step in breaking the stigma of mental illness.

Practical, engaging and absolutely necessary for survival in today's environment.

Very eye-opening session.

Definitely not to be missed if you know someone burning out or if you feel like you are burning out. Invite a friend along!

It has been a fun night of learning and reflecting. Did not regret signing up for the event!

Its absolutely well designed and it addresses the very important aspects (of burnout). Real life sharing. Very practical and essential for the world we live in now.

James & Sharon are the right people that you could approach to develop your strategic volunteer management. They are good listeners who would try to understand your needs, facilitate the process of brainstorming, provide us with significant solutions that suit our model of work.

James has been wonderful to journey with in scoping our volunteer management needs for a more positive volunteer experience workflow. His high efficiency in meeting milestones at each session, along with a heart to go the extra mile for us has allowed better clarity on where GUI's priorities need to be (especially with limited resources) by identifying the most critical functions. We are thus now able to communicate these needs clearly to lead to the next course of action. Thank you, Emmaus!

Thank you for the professional service rendered to better improve our operational efficiency. Your ability to understand our culture and challenges makes our partnership productive. By offering your years of experience in volunteer consultancy, it also allows us to raise our overall volunteering experience.

I have a wonderful experience working this Volunteer Management Project with Emmaus Team. Before we begin the work, my heart was heavy as I felt and think it's going to be tough as I don't even know where to start from. Emmaus has made the whole process so simple and showed us a Process Map on how are we going to take the first step to begin the journey and how's going to end the journey. I'm very thankful for their experience and professional expertise in the area that guided us through the project smoothly. I'm so happy to see the end result and what we have created together. It was a success and I'm truly enjoyed the training provided by Emmaus Team to complete the whole project with our organization. Thank you Emmaus Team and wishing you all the best - continue to fuel good to many organization that need your service.

It has been a wonderful experience working with Emmaus Strategies. I am impressed with the level of commitment, attentiveness and professionalism of the team. I'd gladly recommend Emmaus Strategies for their strategic volunteer partnership consultancy service.

Emmaus provided excellent consultancy services to us in our journey to create a volunteer management framework for our organisation. They adapted and customised projects for our specific needs and were very responsive to our queries and feedback in co-creating solutions to our challenges. James is an excellent trainer and passionate about his work. Both James and Sharon walked the extra mile to help us in our volunteer management journey. I would highly recommend their services to any organisation that is seeking to professionalize their volunteer management processes.

Great coverage of what we do as VMs and brought up any areas that processes can be improved in our organizations.

A very eye opening training.

The trainers kept lessons close to real life experiences. Skills taught are very transferrable.

Had a great time learning through engaging activities!

Well planned and insightful learning experience.

The many opportunities to share and learn from each other

Group work, allowing us to be engaged and apply what we learn to deepen our understanding of the topics.

A great learning platform with like minded partners on a similar mission.

Relevant to my everyday work

Overall it's good. Really in-depth explanation about each topic and (there were also) opportunities to network and exchange ideas with other volunteer managers.

Open sharing of ideas and strategies

The networking session and learning from the sharing with all..

Having support networks (of people who are doing same roles) & role playing was effective!

… hands on practice on the concepts

… the discussion, networking and sharing of ideas and feedback.

Very interactive and engaging

Systematic approach to develop VM (Volunteer Managers); keeps me grounded and focused

Structured and comprehensive.

It is very practical and relevant to our daily day to day operations and these topics help to improve the process and efficiency of overall volunteer management.

… all topics that have been covered… are very interesting and useful for my work knowledge and understanding the depth of volunteer management.

Thoroughness and interactive learning

The poverty simulation was useful to place us in the shoes of people's lives that we would have otherwise never encountered.

Well prepared, well facilitated. Balance of seriousness and fun. Lots of sincerity.

I like the real life examples shared which give me a brief idea of what those in need are facing.

Interactive and fun. Learn social concerns and concepts in an enlightening and impactful way through play.
