I have done two courses with Paul Hodge and The Hatchery this year. Both very professional and more importantly, useful. I now understand how PowerBI works, how to use it effectively, and how to find out more. The Zoom format is very smooth and the half day sessions were timed just right.”

It was a great course. Paul was obviously very experienced and passionate about the topic. The course covered major points well and help was available when issues came up”

As a new employee of a Government Department, attending the First Nations Leadership and Allyship summit and listening to the speakers has inspired me to grow within the industry I am in, I am more determined than ever to become the best I can be!”

A deeply moving and transformative experience, and honestly I don’t think the words I’ve been able to put here really do the experience justice. I have a lot of very big feelings about the experience, but no real words seem to actually do those feelings and my learnings justice. Thank you for the opportunity. It was a privilege.”

It takes courage to lead in this sector and is not for the faint hearted. Very glad two of our Board members joined us.

Professor Sparrow is at the top echelon of regulatory practice, and it is a must for any sound Regulator to attend one of his presentations.”

Professor Sparrow delivered an exceptionally well-constructed course. The attention to detail, specific examples that were relevant to the participants, and the depth of understanding of the topics made for very engaging days.”

The idea of showing empathy towards some of these men not being collusion is refreshing as I have seen the impacts of trauma from an early age on a majority of the persons I deal with daily. I also love the idea of offering the invitation to participate in the conversation. Thank you to all the presenters but especially to Matt Brown, Tony Johannsen, and Joy Townsend.”

High standard of speakers and diverse perspectives and topics.”

I would like to recommend The Hatchery’s Persuasive public sector writing masterclass. As an inexperienced writer and someone who is new to a role where writing is the primary task, it was an excellent course. Considering the high-level government workers in attendance, I can see the benefits as a refresher or supplementary course for those with more experience in writing roles. The facilitator Bev Sullivan makes this course what it is. Bev’s experience as an English Teacher, working for Australian Customs Service and more recently editing high-level government submissions established her credibility and gave the content impact.”

The resilience of these women was awe-inspiring; their determination to succeed despite professional challenges was evident and their stories of overcoming adversities reminded us of the inner strength within us all”

I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to hear from people really making a difference, and to see what intersectionality and inclusion actually looks like.”

“The conference was equal parts beautiful storytelling, impactful data and strategies to develop and support Women of Colour to build successful careers. I recommend the conference for any organisation that actively values diversity in their workforce.”

All the content was relevant and had practical applications that I can implement into my team’s data visualisations. Thank you so much for inspiring me to present data in a way that tells a story instead of just figures and numbers.”

Paul is an amazing presenter and explains everything clearly in a patient and entertaining way, no matter how boring a topic is. I thoroughly enjoyed his course and would reccomend his course to my colleagues!”

An excellent conference with great speakers focussed on a modern regulatory approach”

An excellent event, that was extremely well organised, with an array of speakers who had a clear understanding and working knowledge of the regulatory space, borne out by the high standard of presentations made over the two days.”

Great event, interesting content and very special to be able to hear first hand about others’ experiences with regulation, including where things can go wrong even with the best of intentions”
