Review
I recently attended Evelyn Tian’s Certified Agile Facilitator course and to say Evelyn was a master facilitator would be an understatement. As we traversed the journey of facilitator learnings together as a group, she was patient and supportive to all levels of learning, very receptive to feedback and extremely knowledgeable about her subject. I was able to leave confident in my own skills and newly acquired skill sets she provided!

Absolutely loved Evelyn and how she taught the course! I've had instructors who were more on the loose end, and ones that are almost like drill sargents. She strikes a great balance that kept the class open and fun, and the course progression (and breaks!

Great workshop, good pace for 3-day workshop. Content is relevant, with practical hands-on. Evelyn did a lot of exercises to validate our understanding. She is highly experienced, approachable and encouraged us to go for continued learning. Her passion and patience foster a safe and supportive learning environment. (this is my criteria for selecting workshop)
