Happy Reviews

It was good to know the features specific to my role. More indepth session is needed for some other parts of my role as a Compliance Officer in Asset Management

Informative.

Good course, but could have been more bespoke to my role

It took me some time to navigate through the prework but that was my techno know how. I could have done with better instructions there. The course has made me reflect on my practice, choices and ways to approach challenges. Reminding me not to let my chimp take over

Very good course and have helped me identifying my leadership qualities. I have learnt various strategies to help with developing positive relationships, identifying the right talent and improving teams cohision to help meeting the objectives.

Excellent course. I would really recommend it to colleagues. I thought the content was excellent and I liked how so much of what was covered was so practical. I sometimes felt things could be moved a little quicker by inviting feedback from fewer people but over all the pace was good.

It was a good session and although it's hard to cover much content in an hour, I got a good insight into what a longer training session might be like. A bit of advice for the facilitator - if you are going to pick on people to contribute without warning, it's best to say this right at the start of the session with the caveat that it's ok if you would prefer not to share anything when asked. I'm happy to be asked to share my thoughts, but others might not be.

An enjoyable, fast paced and fun course, which really helped me to consider how I currently do meetings and workshops and what I could do to improve them

I enjoyed the session as it is very informative. I can see that I will have to practice a lot outside of the sessions as if you don't use excel you can quickly forget. I am happy that the spreadsheets that we were working on today will be sent for us to practice on. I usually use excel just to capture student data and this new insight will enable me to create more informative and live data.

The start of the session was far too slow. We shouldn't have been asked to individually state our experience/aims of the course. We shouldn't have done the exercise next door with the pieces of paper. They both felt very pointless. The instructor said he wanted to gauge what we knew, but the course should have started with a task, then going round the room he would have been able to see speed/ability etc. After lunch improved, but before lunch was not informative at all. Having to leave the building to get food also wasted time.
