ABSTRACT Reviews

Whilst overall very positive, for some reason it seemed that the session before lunch on negotiation and objection handling didn't land as well as it might... the watch negotiation required a little more prep time and chance was missed to really engage everyone... soz x

Back to basics, root and branch etc…. An opportunity to reset, challenge, test opinion and plan a strategy to influence my business

Well ran and structured.

Very interesting course, material beneficial in my daily role and really well presented which made it easy to understand.

Very collaborative and comfortable space

Some elements where refreshers rather than new but nonetheless worth taking time out to review and take stock

Good final module. Loads to put into practice and summarise into next steps of career

Good course content and Liz worked with the group to ensure they got the best from it and was able to flex the content.

I noted that some of the topics felt a little padded out. I don’t have specific examples but it’s possible it’s a pacing thing as well as maybe trimming some of the items that delegates didn’t take away with them. We felt some of the courses could have maybe taken less time to cover. Earlier topics felt as if they were more filled with content than perhaps the later ones did?

The course is a fantastic starting point for individuals who are beginning their careers. It covers essential topics like mentoring and personal branding, which are invaluable for newcomers. It doesn't however quite hit the mark for those at the midway point of their careers. To make the course more engaging, I suggest Abstract refresh the content to give it a more modern feel. Increasing the focus on actual learning and reducing the number of breakout sessions would enhance the experience. Overall, the course could be delivered more efficiently over a shorter period of time. Currently, there are 2-3 breakout sessions per module, each lasting 10-15 minutes. Whilst these sessions provide opportunities for discussion, they can sometimes feel repetitive, unproductive and lead to mental fatigue. Streamlining these sessions would cater to a wider range of learning styles and make the course more appealing.
