What people think of Play with Learning

shaneCarlton delivered a course on Creativity that fundamentally changed the way that I and some of my colleagues approach our work. He possesses an engaging style and presents course material in a way that encourages introspection. Quickly gaining this positive rapport, he applies an acute knowledge of the Creative industry. His course was a real eye-opener for us. He doesn’t just get you thinking, he empowers you by making you aware of the steps you can take to achieve a more creative atmosphere in your business. Both I and our business have benefited greatly from our involvement with Carlton.

I can’t recommend both Carlton and Play with Learning highly enough.
