Gil was amazing at delivering this course. He answered everyone’s questions in depth and backed it up with a lot of knowledge. He was patient and polite and got everyone engaged. He asked the group questions and got us involved in discussions. Was a very enjoyable course and I took a lot from it. 10 out of 10!

Beth Jones, The Whitechapel Centre

Really helpful and practical session.

Harry Anderson, Universities UK

I really enjoyed this training session. Peter was a fantastic trainer and the day was thought provoking and interesting throughout. I loved the structure of the day, as Peter’s delivery made it feel like an in-depth conversation with my colleagues about various topics that we don’t often get a chance to discuss. This has helped me to better understand the challenges and motivations of various individuals. Overall, it was a very engaging session that I would recommend to others who are new to management roles, and also to more experienced managers looking for a refresher.

Alex Devall, Kaplan

Attended virtual session:

I found the session very insightful and know that lots of the information gleaned will be really helpful as I progress in my career. Candy was great at making the session relevant to everyone’s individual needs and gave lots of helpful hints and tips throughout that can be easily implemented. I found the sections around time management, delegation and stress in the workplace/coping mechanisms and techniques particularly relevant and now feel a lot more prepared to manage my Intern when she joins the company next week. The content was well planned out and easy to digest. Frequent breaks also helped me to maintain attention during the course. A great session, thanks again Candy!
