ABSTRACT Reviews

Another fab session. Paul and Jen worked very well together and delivered the sessions in a positive and engaging way. Again I enjoyed the opportunity to break out to discuss particular topics with others.

The content of this course, the discussion and input from Paul and Jen was excellent. I learned new things and was reminded of the importance of others. I came away with things that I can deliver and do differently. It is totally on me to make them happen but thought it was really practical information, guidance and support.

It set out in theoretical and practical steps how to negotiate a minefield in the business world. I will be using the suggestions and guidelines over the coming months.

Thank you

Course content was relevant as were the materials. It's a bit different attending a course over zoom rather than in person, but it was handled really well with just the right amount of interaction and breakouts. Looking forward to the next one I'm doing next month.

Very good course so far. Only shame is limited time to talk about things and discuss things in depth and listen to others on what they took from it so we can get a balance view and see what other people think about these things.

I would say the confidence section today was the most relevant and interesting to me. I think how I can apply this to my day to day job and really start thinking about how my confidence affects my work will be really key in my success going forward

I think the conversations have been interesting, it felt a bit content heavy in the middle, maybe we could split the 7 steps into two chunks and discuss them half way through to keep it engaging. I do think it's been useful for getting us thinking about the conversation though. Also, the breakout sessions felt like they went much faster than the time that was given to us, I don't know if that's just getting caught up in the chat or whether they were closed early in some cases. Maybe a 2 minute warning could be useful as sometimes people didn't get the chance to speak.

The course content today was very good for me. The self-improvement, self-worth theme really resonated with me and I was able to talk through the 7 steps of confidence building in a breakout room with fellow alumni which helped me lots. The content today made me open my eyes to personal v situational confidence, relationships I have and which ones I should use more and how, as well as my role within SLA from a professional perspective.

Really enjoyable course. It has got me thinking about areas that I need to work on to get more confident and help my career.
