As you know, I participated in your March “Wake Up, Shake Up” course in Coonamble. As a man of significant ‘life experience’ and having been in the sales realm most of my career, you can imagine my initial ‘here we go again’ attitude leading up to the course.

What a pleasant surprise! I found the content engaging, the refresh of old lessons very useful and the week passed in a flash. The book for notes is brilliant as I have referred to it regularly through my subsequent job hunt endeavours.

Aside from my own reaction, I noticed a marked change in other course participants. All were of varying age, education level & personal circumstance. Most were shy, retiring, & reluctant to engage/participate. By the end of the week, virtually all were fully engaged & participating without encouragement. This one thing proved that I was not the only one benefitting from being there. I have bumped into a couple of the class since then, and one lad in particular is now gainfully employed and I’ve heard very positive feedback on his attitude & performance on the job.

My future is still in the wind a bit as I have moved out to Gulargambone and may well end up in Dubbo depending on a few different factors. Nonetheless, it is safe to say that I feel well ‘shaken & stirred’, woken up for certain. I whole heartedly recommend this program to others & look forward to when we might meet again.

Came out for a lifestyle change and semi-retirement.

Had to register with workforce Coonamble. I did a course called Wake Up Shake Up. Designed by Lynn Field, who I met at that time. The course made me aware of how things have changed over the years. The way Lynn gets you to interact in the course is refreshing.

I have gained part time employment through the Wake Up Shake Up program with the Coonamble Shire Council. I haven’t looked back.

I recommend Wake Up Shake Up Program.
