Happy Reviews

Quite fast paced but my colleagues were keeping up so it was maybe just me! Very enjoyable though and help was always at hand from the very friendly instructor.

I really enjoyed the session. II would have hoped for more training regarding content rather than functions. But I will incorporate the functions learnt today into my future presentations.

The content is great. I think the facilitators worked very hard to involve people but the reason I haven't given a higher score is because the pace meant that despite their efforts to involve me and the other learners, the pace actually had the opposite effect. Sometimes a bit more time to look at each tool would be helpful.

Depending on who was delivering a section depended on how well I assimilated and understood the learning. It wasn't well paced, and often confusing.

would have benefited from longer break out sessions for discussion and a chance to think about issues

Not enough time spent introducing big ideas by the facilitators, thankfully I already had an introduction to them through my learning. Not enough time dedicated to discussions in break out rooms.

There is a still a lot of content to process in one session and I feel as though I can't really engage enough with the content. I wonder if I might be having more trouble with the course being online than I had initially thought. I have also been reflecting on the use of models. I'm struggling with the volume of models being introduced and whether or not I will realistically use them. This is probably more of a general comment on models and tools in leadership and what I feel about their value... I suppose I am most interested with the thinking around them and how this challenges/changes my own thinking. I have noticed (and perhaps incorrectly) that there is a general lack of diversity in the content we are studying. To the best of my knowledge, I think we have predominantly been looking at models and ways of thinking from white CIS males - with the exception of Michael. C. Bush and Amy Edmondson. Although, it may be that I have gotten this wrong.

I knew most of the stuff we did today but it was a nice refresher.

There were some elements today that were useful, e.g. creating your story and the introduction to William Bridges. I just feel so disengaged when you go through all the cohort asking for feedback following breakout groups. It is so lengthy, long winded and I do not learn anything.

Very interesting, informative and engaging
