The Mentor Who Transforms Careers.
I have been lucky enough to have Haydn as my (professional) mentor, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance and support. He had a profound impact on my self confidence, my integrity, and vastly improved my skills when dealing with others both in and out of the workplace. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have made it so far in such a short period of time without his expert guidance and advice.

The Best Professional Course I Have Ever Done
I took part in Mindavation’s “The Difference between Good and Great Project Managers” course which Haydn facilitated and it was without doubt the best course that I have ever done during my professional career. I have participated in many courses with a significant number during my time at the Federal Government but this one was delivered with a perfect mix of both theory and practice.

A Must-Recommend BA Trainer!

The PM Expert We Needed
Haydn prepared and delivered training materials for our organisation and has many years of experience in Business Analysis and Project Management. Without his help we would not have been able to achieve project management maturity and building capacity within the organisation for undertaking projects.
