Britannica International School – 1121 Budapest, Kakukk u. 1-3.

Belinda was invited to join the primary team for their inset day at the beginning of January 2022.

She had virtual meetings to discuss requirements and sent links to films and materials for approval by the team and senior leadership. Therefore, a programme for the day was agreed and contained many activities for staff to take part in and consider how they may be adapted to suit the needs of the children.

Belinda’s sessions were engaging, varied, relevant and active, which meant that the staff team thoroughly enjoyed the training and had plenty of excellent resources and practical ideas to take away. The discussions Belinda facilitated were also very helpful, thought-provoking and much appreciated.

One of the reasons that the sessions were so successful is that Belinda tailored the content according to our needs, meeting with key personnel beforehand, listening to feedback, and creating a bespoke course that was relevant to our community.

She is also hugely experienced and has great knowledge that she can instantly draw upon to suggest fantastic resources, ideas, reading lists and videos/links that are precisely relevant for our needs and questions.

Lastly, everyone thoroughly enjoyed Belinda’s humour, anecdotes, warm and friendly style and pace. Highly recommended!

Head of Primary

Engagement was very positive throughout with many productive discussion and questions.

Feedback:

• It was a lovely session yesterday. I really enjoyed all aspects of the topics you covered. I loved the activities such as the Well being Bingo, Strength cards, design your dream school etc and so many more. The good thing is that we can take away these lovely ideas and adapt them to our year group and use them with the children.
  I especially like the Stress container activity and am very thankful for all the amazing resources you very generously shared with Dave who will pass them on to us.
  Topics such as Well-being, mindfulness are close to my heart anyway but in addition to this I also loved your sense of humor which made your presentation even more fun for your audience.
  Thank you and wishing you a wonderful new year for 2022! Andrea
• She was very engaging, she is a great speaker. I liked her humour and most importantly she had interesting things to say about well-being, mindfulness and mental health. I liked the activities and the resources she shared with us.
• Overwhelmingly positive. She was so good at knowing her audience, laughing with us and navigating us through the day.
• Handled each situation and question well.
• She should do stand up comedy!
• Enjoyable – at first seeing a whole day of training in the same room was daunting but Belinda made it fun and engaging instantly. She was aware of us as her audience and knew exactly how to hook us and provide her wealth of information.
• Even Better if we could have two days with her next year?
• The presentation on Tuesday was really interactive, practical and definitely funny, I think it went really well. Aniko
• Thank you for coming. It was lovely to take part in your quality training. I found it both personally and professionally useful. Mental health is an important topic which is a useful aspect in our everyday lives and which has become even more important in my current stage of life. I found the activities amusing, and some of them challenging. 🙂 I am looking forward to trying out the mentioned games and strategies. Bogi
