You might have read my recent article about evauating the return on invetment in any workshop or programme you attend which has some great thought provoking comments from our readers.

I also came across some feedback about one of the recent workshops I facilitated for the Irish Internet Association recently and the attendee put into action the things we covered in the workshop almost immediately – what music to my ears.

Here is an extract of the review by Derek McGarry, a board member of the Institute of Designers in Ireland and a lecturer in the National College of Art and Design:

Although I would not like to be tested on the full extent of my workshop comprehension, the great outcome for me was to leave the workshop with a conceptual toolbox and a new confidence to give it a go.

I quickly purchased the software and equipment I needed to start a series of design podcasts.  Within days I had recorded the first part of my new podcast series.  With some more work I will soon be ready to launch myself as an official podcaster.

From this first endeavour, I plan to gradually develop my skills through practice using tips and advice provided in the class.  My first efforts may well prove real amateur hour but I don’t mind because I know that this time next year I’ll be much better.

Congratulations Derek and do lt us know where we can liten to your podcasts – and perhaps you’d like to set yourself a goal of being nominated for the IIA Netvisionary awards Best Business Podcaster in 2009!
