ACCELERATE Programme - Attracting Sponsors & Mentors Reviews

This was good. Familiar themes but the more I do these the more self aware I become. I’ve come away from this positive about my personality traits but also annoyed by some of them. I’d missed part of yesterday but the material is easy to refer back to. Overall this was an important use of my time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some insightful points made to take away and execute on!

Another great course covering a varied number of topics. Less quotes in this module than others so would be great to see some more of these in the workbook.
