Really enjoyed the session today and the breakout sessions having a smaller group
Emily is a wonderful coach and workshop facilitator
As ever, the trainer we had was super knowledgeable and delivered the session with enthusiasm that lasted throughout the whole day! They provided space for us to develop our skills/knowledge and then supported this with helpful reflection, insights and encouragement - leaving us all feeling positive about the next steps on the course. Brilliant facilitator!
Very good, enjoyed interactions with other organisations rather than only fire service views
Some content was repetitive from previous modules
I personally struggled with todays delivery. The trainer Emma, was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate, but joked she went off on a tangent a lot and it was true. Many discussions went into other areas, content didn't stay where it needed to to ensure that we learnt the brief as required. I feel that the subjects on the slides, and theories and models we need to reference for our assignments needed to be clearer and covered to a higher level. The discussions and areas Emma went into were interesting, but I found it very all over the place, rushed and very difficult to concentrate and focus. More group activities and practical ways to practice the models would have helped us far more on the course. Many others within the group loved the delivery, so its just a personal preference. For me it was too disorganised, chaotic at times and lacked structure. Named extra models and theorists were mentioned insanely quickly, while trying to note each one, she was on to another. So I have a book of half scribbles and the most chaotic notes I have had to date from a module delivery. I have come away feeling overwhelmed and unconfident I have the knowledge from the session I needed. I will now be going on and watching another delivery from another trainer in the Ioda resources to ensure I have understood the module. Emma was clearly passionate about coaching and mentoring, but commented often on she goes off a lot and the day must have been hard for completer finishers and certain learning styles / personality types and it really was challenging and felt unmotivating and so hard to follow. Sat listening to someone, without much interactivity and group break outs to practice the practical side for almost 6 hours was too much for me. However it is clear Emma is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic but how the delivery impacts some should be considered more.
