    Learning from Nigel is always amazing! Specifically his message of "we are on a journey." The material was a good reminder for Deaf space, as well as how to truly work as co-interpreters combining two minds to present the message! Thank you Nigel!!!

    You signed so many things that when I saw, I thought "how could anyone sign them differently?" I learned so much and had a few startling realizations about my own work. Thank-you!

    Clarity of information, VERY practical for my every day work (in hospital) - nice to see that the best practices and up to date modeling is in alignment with how we operate with our HI/DI pairs. Even better is having our DI's on as staff interpreters too. Great collaboration and such invaluable partnering with our professional colleagues. Wonderful workshop, great presenter, crystalized the points that were important and mixed in with enough humor and interaction to keep us all 'awake' after the lunch comas *smile*
