ACCELERATE Programme - Personal Progress Review Reviews

Good final module. Loads to put into practice and summarise into next steps of career

Good course content and Liz worked with the group to ensure they got the best from it and was able to flex the content.

I noted that some of the topics felt a little padded out. I don’t have specific examples but it’s possible it’s a pacing thing as well as maybe trimming some of the items that delegates didn’t take away with them. We felt some of the courses could have maybe taken less time to cover. Earlier topics felt as if they were more filled with content than perhaps the later ones did?

The course is a fantastic starting point for individuals who are beginning their careers. It covers essential topics like mentoring and personal branding, which are invaluable for newcomers. It doesn't however quite hit the mark for those at the midway point of their careers. To make the course more engaging, I suggest Abstract refresh the content to give it a more modern feel. Increasing the focus on actual learning and reducing the number of breakout sessions would enhance the experience. Overall, the course could be delivered more efficiently over a shorter period of time. Currently, there are 2-3 breakout sessions per module, each lasting 10-15 minutes. Whilst these sessions provide opportunities for discussion, they can sometimes feel repetitive, unproductive and lead to mental fatigue. Streamlining these sessions would cater to a wider range of learning styles and make the course more appealing.

Good course that helps me to relook at the important topics that might make an impact on my career !

the review and final goal setting practice were very valuable.

Help me to understand myself more and know which areas that I still need to improve.

Great engaging facilitators. Tools were helpful

I have applied some of the concepts that were taught in this programme in my work and found them to be very useful. In addition, I have also gained greater self awareness on the areas that I could work on to become better (e.g. imposter syndrome). It has been a great course throughout the year and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to progress more effectively in his/her career path.

Not all the modules are applicable but you can still find value in the concepts. I have definitely felt that I've improved on certain aspects over the course, so thank you for that. Again, kudos to the facilitators for bringing such energy to the module at such an early time fo day.
