ABSTRACT Reviews

The course is a fantastic starting point for individuals who are beginning their careers. It covers essential topics like mentoring and personal branding, which are invaluable for newcomers. It doesn't however quite hit the mark for those at the midway point of their careers. To make the course more engaging, I suggest Abstract refresh the content to give it a more modern feel. Increasing the focus on actual learning and reducing the number of breakout sessions would enhance the experience. Overall, the course could be delivered more efficiently over a shorter period of time. Currently, there are 2-3 breakout sessions per module, each lasting 10-15 minutes. Whilst these sessions provide opportunities for discussion, they can sometimes feel repetitive, unproductive and lead to mental fatigue. Streamlining these sessions would cater to a wider range of learning styles and make the course more appealing.

All good and interactive

This course did really allow me to see the benefits in mentors and also self reflection of different personality types and how to understand others. I enjoyed the thinking around sponsors and the speaker was excellent.

Very insightful and will make good use of the content. Great facilitator and guest speaker too.

Liz was very knowledgeable and an excellent facilitator. I found the session to be interactive and engaging, especially the breakout rooms and subsequent conversations.

A very good course again. Having had sponsors and mentors in the past there were some aspects I had done before but there were a number of useful aspects I can take away and apply.

Really enjoyed the benefits of mark Thomas’ thoughts and experiences. The trust section was also very interesting and enjoyable. Feeling like most of us in the group are feeling comfortable to share things more easily after the sessions we’ve had

Interesting discussions

Excellent course and great insights from course leader

Some really insightful elements and some that were quite obvious or generic. But overall I enjoyed the course
