“…I am sure Frank has heard it before, but it really is one of the most beneficial courses I have done – not only for work, but life in general”.

“Mr Cristaudo is an outstanding instructor and mentor in the art of communication, presentation preparation and delivery, public speaking, representation and marketing…Participants were delighted with the exercises that Mr Cristaudo conducted, and appreciated his ability to display tact and sensitivity without the paternalism that often accompanies such professional development opportunities… He has an enormous wealth of skills and techniques and, what is more, those who undertake his courses enjoy themselves while improving their ability to speak confidently in public. I can recommend him unreservedly.”
Allan Behm, Director, Knowledge Pond Pty Ltd
“…Given the very high expectations of our customers (Chief Executives), and Frank’s ability to meet these expectations, I have no hesitation in recommending Frank as a facilitator and communications skills consultant, for any level of management. The comments most frequently made regarding Frank’s workshops refer to his ability to create a very safe atmosphere for participants to experiment and practise their communication and presentation techniques. They are encouraged and critiqued in a very constructive and supportive manner…Frank not only provides outstanding value, but also facilitates an extremely entertaining and enjoyable session.”
Ron Hirsch, Chief Executive, The Executive Connection
“Susan Alexander and Frank Cristaudo of Engage Communication assisted Liquor Marketing Group with the structure, performance and outcome of a critical workshop. …They assisted us to resolve the goals, draw up a draft agenda and design the group processes to attain the necessary results. They ensured everyone was fully briefed for the meeting and that all parties knew the goals and the significance in achieving them…The positive outcome was obvious both in the quality of output from the meeting and in the morale and enthusiasm of the team.”
Doug Misener, Chief Executive Officer, LMG
“…from 1998 through to 2003 Frank Cristaudo played a critical role in helping CSIRO’s HR group develop the essential capacities to enable it to win the 2003 AHRI Award for Excellence in People Management. The award recognised the close alignment between HR strategy and delivery and CSIRO’s corporate objectives…Frank’s work delivered considerable value to the individuals involved (as personal development), to the HR function within CSIRO (enhancing its capability) and to CSIRO as it helped achieve coherence of HR strategies and the organisation’s objectives.”

“…I found the workshop to be amongst the best I have attended. Mr Cristaudo knows his subject, presented particularly well and, often not done in these things, strictly followed his own teachings. Most importantly, it focussed on the practical – something I find happens all too rarely these days. My time was well spent. I will have no difficulty in recommending the workshop to my colleagues.”
