ABSTRACT Reviews

I think it could be a difficult course for someone with no managerial experience. Personally I am at the very start of a potential managerial journey. Nevertheless i enjoyed the presentations, material and break out sessions, all of which i found interesting and (being new to any managerial / supervisory role) educational I believe we should have had the commitment planner circulated beforehand and gather that might have been the intention? But not sure.

Very useful

Very relevant and useful session on being intentional about setting my personal brand which I don't often think about myself.

This module is very useful and reminds me that just putting your head down and doing your work is not enough to progress in my career. Definitely some development points from hereon!

Overall I've found the course really thought provoking. It' s given me lots of tangible things to work on and new ideas to implement going forward.

I found today's session really interesting in understanding what I would have to offer in a board role, and how to begin planning to achieve one. It has always been a long-term goal, yet after today I understand it can be a prospect to help further my career in the shorter term. The Accelerate course as a whole has been very powerful for me. The various tools and tips to help everyday decision making, planning etc are really useful. But more importantly it has notably helped my confidence in recognising what I have to offer and how I can utilise my skills and knowledge to best effect. Learning about and understanding different personality types and how to influence each is something I will certainly use and benefit from for the rest of my professional and personal life. I look forward to implementing all I've learned and excited for the future!

Great Course, both thought provoking and career changing.

Enjoyed the session and the encouragement to look at how can develop self and career

Overall the course was really good, but some of the impact was lost through the course being on zoom and not being able to take part in person. Whilst Anne and Paul were excellent facilitators, the course handbook could have benefitted from being adapted better to online sessions to use as a point of reference. There was a lot of really relevant content and I will be using this on a regular basis in the future.

This course really does give you time to actually ‘take time’ to reflect on yourself and to help you structure your thoughts about your personal progression and ambitions.
