ABSTRACT Reviews

I enjoyed the course, certainly some valuable things to think about for next steps/going forward. Good to receive some clarification on subjects initially unsure about, so thank you. A slightly less rushed feel and a longer break would have been nice.

Good first session and particularly useful break out discussions

has made me realise i have some things to work on around my personality / persona / how i want others to perceive me professionally.

I found the Persona Assessment really useful and tailoring approach depending on someones persona style. I think this will benefit me in the future particularly working in compliance as sometimes our success relies heavily on how we deliver our feedback and message to others

Really enjoyed this session - definitely given me a lot to think about in terms of mentors and sponsors, have made a note of mentors I could ask and will be asking ahead of the next session Thank you!

Quick, smart and efficient way to get brain juices flowing and to allow people from different roles and experience to still share view points and gain applicable knowledge

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.
