ABSTRACT Reviews

Simon was a good facilitator overall, engaging and personable. There was a small timing issue on the first session where I felt the second half of the session was somewhat rushed. I liked that the sessions were reasonably short, my focus tends to wane towards the end of full/ half day training sessions. Furthermore it impacts less on my day to day role which is greatly appreciated.

The content and all materials were great, I learnt many new things and have taken the Ikigai Concept to heart - i bought the book after the first session and this has been of great help to me both personally and professionally

I liked the informal approach which encouraged discussion. Very relaxed atmosphere made everyone comfortable to contribute. Content was good and logical. Much is already considered by many in their professional role but it has been useful to formalise these processes and techniques. I found the first session a little too 'woolly' and was unable to identify anything that i didn't already have knowledge of. Third session was most practical and could lead to developing good habits. Sessions were well judged at 90 mins. Quick but anything more seems like a burden on an already busy day.

Having been fortunate to attend a number of similar courses over my career, most of the content was familiar. However, I did take a couple of nuggets away with me and it is always interesting listening to colleagues experiences.

thought provoking an d challenging enough

Very good and good interaction with the group

Still find it strange that we didn't get a round up of who is on this course; in terms of psychological safety I couldn't even see people's surnames in some cases so had no idea who I was speaking to. I have started to find out who people are in my small groups but can't do this in large groups.

very interesting

Helped reflect on current practices and what to potentially change

Not all the modules are applicable but you can still find value in the concepts. I have definitely felt that I've improved on certain aspects over the course, so thank you for that. Again, kudos to the facilitators for bringing such energy to the module at such an early time fo day.
