McManus HRD Reviews

Overall I would have liked a bit more on how to manage how to overcome barriers such as tech issues. What if the team is mixed - some working from home, some are working from the office. How can we ensure that those that work from home are not disadvantaged or the staff that are in the office do not feel they are disadvantaged. Definitely include something in on how to manage the return to work. More on childcare juggle and how this can be managed.

Good tips and hints, well delivered Session and useful to speak with other colleagues from other organisations to hear what actions they have put in place.

Very practical and useful tips

Very useful session on effective communication, it helped me better understand my preferred communication style, how it impacts others and how I can flex it to suit different situations.

It was useful to see different perspectives on how people act, and the use of splitting up the video call into group was a great technique to allow for greater communicability. From my understanding of the 4 personality styles I think it is a great introductory piece into how people think, however, it is quite basic and doesn't reflect on on the variability of people's personalities, and so as this I have had previous courses on this topic i didn't find it particularly useful

Laurel fosters a good, energetic learning environment and is always happy to answer any questions - as well as ask the right ones of the learners themselves.

A lot of useful content

Brilliant presentation style. The passion is evident and allows us to get invested in what is being said and discovered within the course. Many thanks for this day.

Very good course; thorough, friendly lecturer and would recommend.

I really enjoyed Laurell's style of teaching. She is very approachable, and she clearly communicated the subject. The course was very informative. I will definitely implement her tips in my personal and professional life.
