Very engaging. Good mix of learning and approaches.

Enjoyable, informative course. Picked up lots of information about methods and tools, but it would have been good to have some more time to put them into practice and have some feedback and input into our own attempts.

Some of the material I had covered elsewhere on different courses but that shows the value of it, and it was good to be brought back to the front of mind. Lots of good ideas that can adapted to suit different people and purposes.

More on technical skills

Very useful even tough some methods may not be quite relevant to our roles and ways of working. However these are tips that can work elsewhere very easily.

I have loved the overall course so far, but found risk really hard to get enthused about - though realise it's critical to the qualification. Brendans' moving talk of Grenfell aside, I felt that the connection with SMOs was too tenuous.

Very interesting, engaging and interactive training which developed new skills and techniques for providing online training. Gained confidence in using a range of different tools that make online training more participative.

AI and risk management felt less obviously connected overall to self management and more like topics from a more general leadership programme than previous sessions. Maybe could have done with more explicit connection from the facilitators to make the links clearer? AI session was interesting but felt a bit conceptual for those considering this stuff for the first time. Where would one start?! Felt a bit like he came to share his world view rather than engage with the group where we are all at. Could we have covered the basics of risk management and then looked at the risks (or common perceived risks) associated with making the shift to self management to make the link clearer? I was tired by this point but felt like a mix of this, and talking about how to do risk management in a self-managed org and didn't feel like we had time to do either justice in a way that left me clear on what I could do with it (and I work with risk a fair amount already).

I really enjoyed the course. Serena definitely knows her subject and was able to share her knowledge in an engaging way.

I'm so glad to be a part of this Power BI training session. It was informative, reasonably intense and interesting. Serena was a patient and attentive instructor. She made us feel at ease and no challenge was too much for her.
