Tanya and Jo were absolutely outstanding to work with. They provided incredibly detailed background work in the leadup to our event, as well as facilitating workshops with the participants to take them through the creative process. Multiplex
They understood our brief very well, and devised funny and clever routines to work with our theme. For our keynote presentations they created an upbeat atmosphere and light relief, enabling the audience to then focus on the important product initiatives we were announcing. IBM Software
It's not easy to entertain 200 delegates at 9am on a Friday morning after a week long training agenda. It's even harder to make them laugh. Not only did Tan Jose entertain us, we laughed and laughed and laughed til the face hurt… Tan Jose provided just the right combination of laughter, motivation and participation that ended our week on a high. Perfect, thankyou. AstraZeneca Australia
