ABSTRACT Reviews

I think the course was good but could have been so much better. Alot of feedback was provided prior to the course about the challenges faced when working in the organisation I work in and I dont think alot of those points were covered during the course and if they were, they were just touched on rather than being a focus of the course or looked into in depth. The course needs to be tailored more to the demands and difficulties of working in the business the participants are from. I felt some of the course and materials were very generic rather than being tailored to the business.

2nd module in the course, which again (like the first module) was thought provoking and provided some useful tips to apply at work.

I enjoyed most of the course and thought both facilitators were very good. I just thought there was too much content for the allotted time and felt the delivery was rushed.

GOod material and well thought out content- bit haphazard getting material to us and the zoom delivery system needs to be more robust

The course was very enjoyable and thought provoking and well delivered by the facilitators. Anne and Lou are great communicators and were very well prepared, personable and clearly have a deep understanding of the topics / concepts. There were a lot of principles / concepts discussed and more discussion around practical application (in the plenary session) would have been helpful. The written materials were pretty high level and it would be helpful to have more text on the objectives of each session and background to the concepts which we could review in advance and afterwards. Additional materials were provided during the sessions - it would be helpful if everything could be included in the workbooks.

The course made me think but I wasn’t clear on the relevance of the challenge and support session to the process of helping me progress in my career in a law firm in particular. In relation to the 4 pillars session I also didn’t really understand how this was helpful to my personal ultimate goal although it was interesting to discuss. The event part was really helpful and the 8 questions part of the session was really useful.

Should be aimed predominantly at colleagues at the start of their career journeys

While the session was useful in terms of making me think and encouraging me to ask questions regarding my progression, there was a lot of talking during the session and in the break out rooms about issues/negatives with the partnership process but not many solutions or suggestions offered in terms of actioning these issues.

Good refresher
