"Fukuko brings energy to the workshop in a way that is compassionate, yet challenging. In her stakeholder buy-in workshop, I was able to identify the various criteria I can use to determine what I may be assuming about the stakeholder in my engagements. It allowed me to challenge my preconceived notions and helped me recognise the importance of building relationships before engaging in the project itself." - Zoe Toh, Daily Motion
