ACCELERATE Programme - Attracting Sponsors & Mentors Reviews

The coloured personalities is always a good one to do and helps bring people together. This was probably the most important bit for me, as this course means we interact with others around the business which we wouldn't see during COVID.

More time and focus on negotiation tactics and skill would have been useful.

Good course and not something I've really thought about, like the definition of sponsor and mentors and differences. Struggled a bit with the model and think I possibly ended up in the wrong box after reviewing the materials more. Really like the bit about the personal CV and the guest speak is always helpful. Also thought Pauls examples of real life examples were great like the sponsor who got him a role so he could control him in that new role.

It was nice to be in a female only group as it felt like you could be more honest about issues and considerations around families etc. Amanda was a great choice of presenter

I found it really useful to really consider how this can support me in my career and also the importance of. The course was well run and even though it was remote, felt it had great value add.

This course was really helpful in making me see that I need to find a mentor and to develop relationships with my (silent) sponsors. Some really practical tips were given that should allow me to achieve this

These courses allow me to sit back and look at where I am and where I want to be, and also to realise how many preconceived ideas I have built up over my working life.

Really useful course as all these are. Gives time to really think about what you need and where you need to go. Previous courses have provide a fundamental shift in my thinking and this one feels the same Amanda Young was totally inspiring too

Really good course, really helpful, got some good skills which I will be able to take away and use.

Very insightful. The course was even better than anticipated. Extremely useful and relevant.
