Testimonials
We were thrilled to have Katy Bigsby from Reil Learning present to our summer staff on Proactive Strategies for Tricky Situations. Katy’s session was engaging, practical, and deeply relevant to the challenges our team encounters in the Club setting. Her strategies truly resonated with our staff, who left feeling more confident and equipped to respond to difficult moments. If you are looking to strengthen your team's capacity to handle complex situations with professionalism and empathy - Katy can help!

Working in partnership with Katy is a truly collaborative experience. Katy is responsive, respectful, and always maintains the learner at the heart of her work. The passion Katy shows through her work and modelling of being a teacher-learner is always present. Results are reflective of the desired outcomes and inclusive of diverse perspectives and ways of knowing. I always look forward to collaborations with Katy.

Katy was a fantastic addition to the annual Training Weekend for the Camp Goodtimes team. She provided valuable insight and techniques for working with children presenting challenging behaviours as well as supporting children who experience anxiety. Not only was her workshop informative and engaging, but her approach and presentation style is so open minded and flexible which our team greatly appreciated. She helped prepare our team for an amazing summer at camp, thanks Katy!
