ACCELERATE Programme - Boardroom Expectations & Future Readiness Reviews

Loved it… the best of all the courses for the deuo!

Excellent module which was extremely well presented. Gave me a great deal to consider and will definitely help me to improve my board engagement skills and also has encouraged me to go for it in terms of applying for a board position I have considered for a while

The slides we use and you present at times are in a different order. I use a mobile for zoom so mot always easy to see the slides you present.

It's a difficult one to measure. Interesting topic but not one I believe my current position in abrdn would lend itself to requiring. There were interesting points raised and I enjoyed the speakers discussion.

A great idea of a guest speaker.

Good course and thought provoking with some very good processes to follow to progress your career and to enable you have a much better interaction and impact in the board room.

Shona and Paul really compliment each other in terms of delivery and you can really see how well planned and organised this session was. I have taken a lot of actions for myself and take-always i can use. Many thanks as great spend of my time.

Overall I've found the course really thought provoking. It' s given me lots of tangible things to work on and new ideas to implement going forward.

Great Course, both thought provoking and career changing.

I found today's session really interesting in understanding what I would have to offer in a board role, and how to begin planning to achieve one. It has always been a long-term goal, yet after today I understand it can be a prospect to help further my career in the shorter term. The Accelerate course as a whole has been very powerful for me. The various tools and tips to help everyday decision making, planning etc are really useful. But more importantly it has notably helped my confidence in recognising what I have to offer and how I can utilise my skills and knowledge to best effect. Learning about and understanding different personality types and how to influence each is something I will certainly use and benefit from for the rest of my professional and personal life. I look forward to implementing all I've learned and excited for the future!
