ABSTRACT Reviews

Really useful session to reflect on how much progress has been made. I recognise the areas where I have made progress and the areas that need further development, which has provided me with a new motivation to really take action. The facilitators have been wonderful and really care about making a difference, so a big thank you!

I was sceptical about taking so much time out of the work to attend this course. What it has given me is time to think, reflect and focus on what can make me a better person and an even better employee. Many of the ideas are phrased in a way to give that much needed encouragement and confidence to take action.

Very well organised, very smooth running of the course with breakout rooms etc. Amazing group and learnt a lot from others, facilitators are brilliant at providing the open and safe forum to speak. The programme really grew over each session and was brilliant. Both Lou and Anne are energetic, approachable and passionate about their subjects. This course has made a huge difference to the way i think about my career, providing me a real focus and practical steps on how to do this. It really forced me to challenge myself on what i want in my next career move and came at a great time.

Hope to have the full slides in our worksheet.

The course actually highlighted some of my blind spots and brought more awareness to me. Overall quite positive about the course. Might be hard to change the organization because everyone’s agenda are different.

- Need more personal time to mull over certain discussion/action points which don't come to mind instantly

Useful to have the breakout sessions with the cohort, and helpful to listen and hear diverse views from different backgrounds. Build confidence in sharing personal thoughts and thoughts about the subject matter.

I like the confidence session as it breaks down how to think about my own confidence level piece by piece, which could be too conceptual to start with.

Confidence was and still will be a challenge for me going forward, especially in things I am not good at. Today's session had me thinking quite a bit in terms of overcoming this. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the content of the training. It helped me better frame some of the issues, challenges and thoughts that I have come across in the past.
