ACCELERATE Programme - Boardroom Expectations & Future Readiness Reviews

Great course, really helped reaffirm my understanding of Boards and the attributes of a good board member. Will now progress lining up a pathway to find and take advantage of opportunities at the right juncture.

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.

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.

Enjoyed the boardroom session

This course was different to what I expected but has definitely given me a something to think about. Being part of a Board in the bank seems like a way off yet but this has helped me consider how I can build up this experience in my spare time. Would be good to cover how we can start the journey of finding a board to sit on.

Great course and looking forward to building on what Anne and Lou have taught us as I continue my career.

Course was very insightful and the Anne and Lou care about our progression and challenge us in interesting ways. The workbook could have been more comprehensive and included more of the slides from the various sessions
