Cultural Competence M1 - Willingness To Engage Reviews

good mix of thought provoking material and examples used in the session. lots of engagement with colleagues and examples of what is happening in the business right now

Good mix of presenting and group participation. Could do with a little longer for the break outs. 3 hours could have been a better length overall with a 15min break

Really interesting content and well delivered although Friday afternoon is a difficult time to keep focused! . Some of the break out sessions took a while to get the conversation going so could have done with a bit longer. It would have been useful to know in advance that additional work required inbetween sessions so we could plan time for this.

Lou and Clay are a great pairing, they provide a good counterpoint to each other, Lou exudes energy and enthusiasm and Clay is measured and thoughtful. A challenging course, but that of course is the purpose of it; it's thought provoking.

A very informative and interesting course with relaxed presentation style from both facilitators. Good examples used to illustrate the points being put across.

The material is informative and helpful and addresses challenging concepts.

I would have liked the opportunity for more cross group discussion on some of the questions but overall it was an interesting session. There were examples given that I had not really given any thought to before so it made me give consideration to them. There were also some difficult questions to thnk about in terms of finding a solutions to the way in which to deal with them effectively e.g. encouraging staff to be aware of the potential impact of the language and words they may use.

Interesting subject matter and conversations that developed in the session. I like the focus on inclusivity, humility, fear of failure. I agree that these are important leadership qualities. I'm still struggling with how to make concrete commitments and actions, although I agree it's important to actually turn talking into action which so often gets lost with training. I manage 2 members of staff so don't see myself as particularly senior so I'm thinking of the areas where I can have influence in the areas we discussed.

It is new and interesting subject - one which definitely needs exploring and talking about!

I have been impressed so far with the course. The materials are well explained. Lou and Clay have a very accessible communication style. I have found the group discussions productive and reflective. I like the idea of having actions to take away and follow up on with other training members.
