ACCELERATE Programme - Attracting Sponsors & Mentors Reviews

Great course, best of the sessions so far!

I found the content really useful. Although at times I couldn't quite see the linkage between some of the topics and the main purpose of the training, I still believe everything we learned and talked about will be very useful.

Great course filled with insightful content and conducted at just the right place

Module was helpful in identifying the purpose and importance of sponsors/mentors, and understanding different personas and linking that to how it affects our negotiations.

Very thought provoking. Thanks to Shona for stepping in to the breakout room for the persona exercise. Next steps already in flight.

Materials slightly light - some key content was retained in course presentation and not provided to delegates.

Enjoyed the course overall, found it very interesting and useful. Good pace and right amount of breaks. At times I felt people were put on the spot or made to feel slightly guilty for not contributing, but fully understand why that is done as you need people to get involved. Maybe go a bit softer next time. Guest speaker wasn't very useful.

I found the session really useful to help distinguish between mentors and sponsors, and to help identify individuals both internally and externally that I could engage with in this regard.

Wasn't able to join for all of the course today but had enjoyed this afternoon's session

Really enjoyed this module, found it really engaging with a lot of useful takeaways. The session on different persona types and, more importantly, how to influence and interact with them was extremely useful.
