Managing for the First Time Day 1(Classroom/Public) Reviews

Great course, day two seemed much more practical, day 1 think was a bit less engaging because of this but still good.

Ben was an excellent facilitator, very clear and patient and introduced us to a lot of interesting ideas. Occasionally would have wanted more practical tips, especially on the first day, but equally came to understand the structure of the course and the second day was much more practical.

Good course; if anything, would have liked an even deeper dive on constructive feedback and dealing with difficult personalities. Really liked that the advice given on the course was backed with scientific evidence, anecdotes, and success stories; i.e. 'companies that do X are more successful' or 'doing Y raises cortisol levels', etc.

I found it hard to get to the substance in a two day structure. The theory was ok but I did not get many takeaways from day 1.

Some superfluous emails and duplication of questions from admin team. Lunch was good but quite salty.

Was still a bit unsure after first day and anxious I was not doing right things as a manager, but the exercises on day 2 taught me a lot of applicable skills I can use.

In my opinion one of the best courses I have ever had(except food-sorry)

Brilliant atmosphere, making it easy and fun to engage and participate in the practical activities throughout the course. Definitely recommended :)

Thank you! Going away feeling empowered and confident in my new management role

Great course
