ACCELERATE Programme - Boardroom Expectations & Future Readiness Reviews

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!

Enjoyed the session and the encouragement to look at how can develop self and career

Overall the course was really good, but some of the impact was lost through the course being on zoom and not being able to take part in person. Whilst Anne and Paul were excellent facilitators, the course handbook could have benefitted from being adapted better to online sessions to use as a point of reference. There was a lot of really relevant content and I will be using this on a regular basis in the future.

This course really does give you time to actually ‘take time’ to reflect on yourself and to help you structure your thoughts about your personal progression and ambitions.

A thought provoking course that has certainly provided me with a number of useful tips to help with my career progression. It stimulates a lot of self reflection and helps you to understand the areas in which you need to improve / focus on to reach the next level/s.

Excellent course, motivational and inspirational content from both Ann and Lou as I have found throughout the programme. Really enjoyed the external speaker session from Katie Murray, great opportunity to hear from her, thank you. Has worked well virtually and great engagement from the group.
