Recent reviews
Joseph was a very clear communicator and affable facilitator - there was a lot of info to get through, a great deal of which was of use and made me think differently, and some understandably which I was happy to find I was already doing!
As always I welcome the interactive nature of the training and excellent use of the technology available to us. One small criticism is as instructed I logged in 15 minutes before hand to avoid any technical issues. Having waited right up to the start time I thought that a lot of people must be attending because of the long wait to find only two of us external to Happy. 5 minutes would be sufficient enough time.
THe training over Zoom was extremely efficient and the breakout rooms great, also like that the conversations do not go on and on. That said, people can talk over each other and drop out of conversations, maybe missing a vital 30 seconds of a conversation, this is less likely when classroom based. We talked the basics of trust, but not really enough of how to overcome the hurdles when remote working. We heard about what we need to do, but nothing on expectations of our staff, I would have been interested to hear how others were coping with productivity challenges and motivation
