T his round of Skillbuilders we have seen the introduction of Skillbuilder Facili- tators, Robert Todd and Glen D'Souza. Both Glen and Rob are Training Hub Managers and completed a week of "Train the Trainer " sessions in Sydney before being provided the opportunity to facilitate sessions in their own states. Rob has at this stage completed his first sessions in Melbourne and received positive feedback, he is based at our Klemzig centre and has been with Kennards since 2006. Glen will be facilitating sessions in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, he is currently the Centre Manager at our North Lakes centre and has been with Kennards since 2008. It is very rewarding to see Team Members taking the opportu- nity to grow and develop when presented with the opportunity. Congratulations on your commitment. Bill McClean Training and Development Manager

“A challenge made easy is how I would best describe my first weeks exposure to the role as a Training Facilitator. Thanks to Bill for his patient and always relevant guidance, the sharing of ideas with my fellow Facili- tator Glen and the supportive contribu- tions from every Team Member who attended the first week of Skillbuilder II. I can honestly say, I found this week to be one of the most rewarding I have had in my eight years with KSS. The opportunity to spend a week at our new THQ was also fantastic. Thanks to everyone who made me feel so welcome.” Robert Todd - Klemzig

“Being picked as Skillbuilder Facili- tator is a great feeling and extremely challenging. It is never going to be easy filling in for Bill but having him around is fantastic. A week in Sydney at THQ working with Bill was extremely rewarding. Being able to deliver a few sessions to the NSW Teams was a great opportunity to prepare for the challenge in Queensland. It was also a great chance to see the new THQ and meet the Team there.” Glen D’Souza - North Lakes
