ABSTRACT Reviews

A great presentation. Perfect "bite sized" chunks gave the maximum impact.

Another great course covering a varied number of topics. Less quotes in this module than others so would be great to see some more of these in the workbook.

Very relevant and timely content. Both David and John are excellent consultants/trainers and show real depth to their knowledge and experience of the subjects being discussed. The level of detail was also just right in each section. I have only marked down effective communications due to the connection issues. It was a shame about the broadband issues both John and David experienced. At times it was very hard to hear each of them, David in particular.

Overall very helpful and a great refresh of the core components of effective time management etc. As John said on the day it's common sense stuff but we'd be lying if we said we consistently did it. For me the refresh was a great refocus for me on what's important.

Slightly rushed at times although recognise volume of material to cover. Breakout sessions and mixing groups was a really positive approach

I liked the break out rooms as went along, that worked really well. Thought the day got off a little slowly in the initial content

Great to have the session which has been well delivered making engaging use of the technology. Whilst I have previously undertaken similar courses, I can see the value it has brought to others in challenging their personal ways of working which should provide an opportunity to grow into their new roles. The PACE groups should also offer a platform to keep the learning alive. Really liked the balance of Charlotte & John, providing good commentary and bringing in people to keep contribution levels up. Look forward to the next one. Thank You.

I thought the course had a lot of relevant material and gave a lot of food for thought for managers of all levels of experiences. It made me question whether I was as good at some things as I thought I was, and also made me realise I'm probably better at some things than I thought I was. Content was great, my only one minor gripe is that I think it went on too long, I would rather have had few breaks and a shorter session, as it is difficult to completely disconnect from the day job for 6 hours, particularly when you're sat at your desk and things are going on around you!

6 hours is a long course but it went quickly. I enjoyed the content which was mainly refreshers with a few gems in there and i thought the zoom worked well. I enjoyed listening to my colleagues as a learning method. Good mix of tell /discuss Book recommendations welcome. Even better if considerations to welbeing especially in the efficiency section Communications - would be enhanced with some thoughts on using zoom for communication as we are all doing that and perhaps learning styles

Lou and Anne are both energetic and enthusiastic. This module's concepts were very interesting and have shown me the importance of being more engaged to further my progression. They have encouraged me to pursue important relationships and work to maintain them.
