It’s refreshing to read books about learning that work well with adults
My whole family has read your ‘Learn Really Well’ and we think it is great!
Chinese students from Guangzhou thoroughly enjoyed Roz’ presentations as evidenced by the large successful book sales”
Read Really Fast is fantastic. It’s polished, informative and simply top class.

“In my role as the Workers Compensation Return to Work Coordinator for a government organization, I am occasionally confronted with a case that requires a specialist approach.
This was the case a few months ago when a conflict arose in a team amongst members resulting in claims for stress that had the potential to become a bitter and protracted case likely to cost both the workers and the employer in dollars, lost time and productivity.
After discussing locally the various approaches, it was suggested to engage a qualified mediator as a cost effective and proactive method to resolve this highly charged emotive situation.
After I gained agreement from all the parties to participate in the process I sourced the services of Roz Townsend via the Yellow Pages.
Roz acted very professionally and discussed the situation with all respective parties, gaining their trust and approval to a group mediation meeting, using a no blame approach with Roz acting as the independent convenor. The workers were able to individually talk freely about the incident and the issues preceding the incident. Importantly there was a conscious effort to see the situation clearly, with no preconceptions or bias and to address the issues to move forward productively and for the betterment of the team.
Roz ensured that follow up contact was maintained with the parties and there is now a much more co operative and productive working relationship in this team.
Roz Townsend conducted the whole process in a very professional, confidential manner and based on this I would use her services again should a situation like this again arise in the future.”
