Brendan - I really appreciated your apology and understanding for the need for clarity in preparation for each session. I think this is beneficial for all (as I was not the only one without a laptop) but I think it brings into sharper focus the missing link I feel there is in the course. This is not the first time I have had to flag neurodiversity as an issue to be considered (the first time was in the Culture session with Jo) and I wonder if, linking in with what Lynette said about Prevent and British Values, there may be a space by which we can spend more time discussing these in tandem with the learnings on the programme. Lynette was right that they should be highlighted as and when they come up, and while I despise the term 'British Values', some more open and honest discussion around equity, diversity and inclusion feels appropriate. It can't have gone unnoticed that we are a not very diverse group in terms of heritage, and these topics have to be talked about alongside what we are learning, as no workplace can be considered truly transformational if JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) doesn't underpin everything it does.
All in all I found it challenging but valuable, doing the storytelling piece of work allowed me to identify where I need to think about and refine the reasons for change but I loved the liberating structures work in pulling out thinking that I didn't even know I had!
Enjoyed today's pace - good amount of time for interesting discussion
Pace was better. Felt like there was more time in breakout rooms to discuss things properly
Ideal pace today with more engaging conversations.
the pace of today's training was better, there was more time to think about the information that was shared- I stand half a chance of retaining it! The assignment period of 4 weeks was too short for me, I am pleased that we will will have advanced notice of upcoming assignments so that i can feel better prepared.
Better pace today and enjoying the breakout groups. Some really helpful feedback on my story.
There were some elements today that were useful, e.g. creating your story and the introduction to William Bridges. I just feel so disengaged when you go through all the cohort asking for feedback following breakout groups. It is so lengthy, long winded and I do not learn anything.
A good session overall. Looking forward to some face time though.
Really interesting insight to own leadership styles and behaviours and thinking about how to be more versatile in my approach to supporting managers with other styles and behaviours.
