she made contact with me, as she did with all her students, and provided the information that we would need ahead of time to facilitate a smooth start. Indeed, preparedness and careful time management were her hallmark as she sought to maximize the use of time so that every session was a thought provoking learning experience. She was also very knowledgeable about her subject area and made every attempt to present material that was relevant and pertinent to our Caribbean situation, which was quite different to what she was accustomed to. The successful delivery of the material therefore not only proves Ms. Salmon’s competence and knowledge, but her ability to be sensitive to the cultural contexts within which she works. Although there was limited time to deliver the material, daily Ms. Salmon would reflect on what we had been able to accomplish and evaluate the outcomes, while considering her objectives so that changes could be made in order to respond to our individual needs. Her ability to reflect critically on her own performance, as well as my own and every member of the class, made the time that she spent with us invaluable and rewarding. Ms. Salmon has helped me to identify my strengths clearly, frankly point out areas for development and improvement and most importantly, provide the tools that I needed to improve as a manager, as a leader and as an artist. The course Entrepreneurship and Project Management in the Arts was also facilitated by Ms. Salmon during my studies. The intricacies of business development and planning and project development and planning were explored systematically and comprehensively. Because of her careful attention to detail and her insistence that I put into practice all that had been studied, I achieved great academic and personal satisfaction, which culminated in the successful staging of an artistic production. More importantly she was able to bring her own personal experiences and ethos to bear upon the course so that what I learned more than anything else is that any project or business relies on good relationships and good communication. Her vast experience as a manager and artist, her genuine warmth and insightful observations, the individual attention that she paid, made the courses practical and personal. Much of my success to date I owe to her careful guidance and tutelage.”
