ABSTRACT Reviews

Excellent course, motivational and inspirational content from both Ann and Lou as I have found throughout the programme. Really enjoyed the external speaker session from Katie Murray, great opportunity to hear from her, thank you. Has worked well virtually and great engagement from the group.

I thought the Module was excellent. It brought together all the work completed in Modules 1-4 around confidence, influencing and understanding our natural style and ended with a very clear Call to Action (ie. "go be on a Board"). Best Module of the programme, in my opinion. The Resilience assessment was a particular stand out for me (so much so that I gave my fiance the assessment to complete for himself!). I thought the 5 Vital Components was fairly basic for this audience hence the 3/5 score for that element. A couple of the Vital Components were repeats of what we'd talked about earlier. Its not a big deal as its only a small element of a whole day session but may warrant a review.

As always the course content was brilliant with practical applications which get you formulating plans to implement post course.

great sessions - many thanks. Good pace

A well thought out and executed piece of work by two passionate experts. Some genuinely useful takeaways that will have a positive impact immediately (managing conflict and the structure/prep work associated), as well as the framework to improve other aspects over time.

Really useful session and changed my perception on the boardroom. Some really useful things to consider and actions.

The course today challenged a lot of preconceived notions I had about the boardroom. Definitely something that I would want to do in the future and lots to think about. The overall course has been a great balance of tools, advice and stories that are going to help me with both my personal and business aspirations. A safe and honest environment to reflect, so a big thank you!

Today really felt like it all came together piece by piece - the jigsaw was completed not withstanding the parts I will be taking forward. Lou/Anne have been extremely supportive whilst building a great relationship via zoom and at times I have been on an emotional rollacoaster as you really start to think and drive your career forward.

This Module, and the other two, rank amongst the best courses that I have attended during my (long) career. It is well structured, well paced and the accompanying slides are exemplary in what they deliver. The whole experience was both enjoyable, informative and thought-provoking in that we were encouraged to take a fresh look at management. Thank you.
