Ioda Reviews

Good constructive day with lots of group participation

There was a lot of information to take in, but there are opportunities to go back over this in my own time. It may be better to break this down into 2 sessions.

Useful to review models and tools and see how they are relevant to mentoring

Really good session but there was quite a few repeated models this time around like Leadership Continuum and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Could do with replacing these as we’ve gone through it in previous modules. Also, the pre-activity tasks I was asked to do before the session and bring to the course didn’t have any relevance to what was discussed today. For instance recruitment and selection and the steps we have in place. PDR reviews and process behind this, I think we should have definitely dived into this in more detail as it’s a core aspect to managing people. However, we mainly spoke about recognition.

Useful to understand how budgets relate to my role

Really useful to have the time to sit and reflect. Great to work with colleagues from other parts of the Councils.

Thank you

A useful day, good to hear other peoples experiences

enjoyed today, thank you. The trainer went a little bit quick on a couple of slides for me to really process the information.

found it really helpful, there were some great people on the call today that shared their thoughts so there was some good engagement from a variety of staff from different backgrounds.
