Sarah is very patient and engaging, I enjoy learning with her and our cohort
Learning a lot of new ways to improve all round, really creative sessions engaging to find out more or the best way to achieve more. Really happy with everyone's support especially Sarah. Everything is going well.
Great Session. Really enjoyed the coaching role play as really helped to be able to put this in practice in real life at work.
Ebe was brilliant - I was the only one in my session so it went at a perfect pace!!
Really insightful, learnt many more tips than expected!
I really enjoyed today's session our trainer was welcoming and answered all my questions
I feel like this course lacked exercises in best practice for minute taking. We could have watched a well chaired meeting and taken minutes and then compared examples or been shown a couple of examples of best practice. Instead we did a succession of exercises designed to show that listening is hard. Ie listened to a fairy story, listened to Becca describe how to draw lines on paper, listen to each other talk for 2 minutes on any topic and listen to a badly chaired meeting for 12 minutes. Our only formal minute taking exercise was at the very end when 2 people of the group had to "minute" our discussions of what we had learnt and these examples weren't visually shared or reviewed. It felt more like training on how to chair a meeting as there was a lot of focus on what the chair should do to make things run smoothly, and not much focus on how the minute taker could deal with challenges. Think it would have been helpful to learn about new technologies for minute taking, and was unhelpful to be told to consider writing notes by hand.
Overall i did not get what i thought i would learn from this course. To me it didn't focus on minute taking and skills and was more focused on communication and listening skills. The Trainer was lovely though i think a little out of his depth with us as a class. He stated at the end that we were a big group (we were a group of 14 not that big) and someone had twisted his arm to deliver the training. I also found that the training didn't adapt to those with learning difficulties and as an online course found it very hard to stay focused and engaged with the day.
