ACCELERATE Programme - Building Superior Confidence Reviews

Really helpful and informative course that I’ve learnt a lot from and hope to put into practice from today. Nice spin to focus on strengths rather than weaknesses and see yourself from a different perspective. Found the section on imposter syndrome really interesting and definitely resonated with the expert, and comforting to know this is something everyone suffers from

Really good course. Would like to have seen more on projecting your confidence externally. I am also dyslexic so having some of the slides that were not in the pack would be helpful.

Good - perhaps needed more time for presentation exercise and a way to push more of us outside of comfort zone (I.e. get more of us presenting).

Course was good but think some of the benefits /messages and ability to discuss in groups was reduced in the virtual environment. Would recommend a face to face training.

Very useful course, able to share experience with other staffs

This is one of the best training sessions I have ever attended. Usually these are done with people I work directly with. The global format eliminates any politics and allowed me to be more vocal and contribute more having not worked with the other delegates. It is a great leveller just hearing and accepting that we are all situationally confident and weak and how we operate in any situation is a continuous learning experience. The impromptu session - I am going to look at about 5 subjects or big thematic questions within my area of business and build a 3 minute overview so I will never struggle when being put in a situation like that. The process of how to manage an impromptu with little time to prep is a key skill. Also being able to seek clarity as a stress bandit scenario provides a great framework to deal with daily distractions. Really enjoyed this.

Overall very good, helpful to take time out & think about things you rarely consider. Nothing earth shattering but that’s the point there is no magic formula. It’s about being disciplined. I think in reality it would be better in person but clearly that has cost implications for all.

This was a well thought out course. There are key elements that I now need to take into my career.

Really enjoyed the course and took away lots of commitments. Anne and Charlotte were great!

Ex cellent. made me reflect on how i critical i am of myself and how i would champion others and back them but don't do myself!
