Happy Reviews

I am a trained practicing coach so the morning was not the best use of my time

An interesting if not sometimes superficial view into leadership with some nice examples. Its a collection of others work that been collated. I’d appreciate a more challenging environment with new / disruptive thoughts. Suzy was a really good facilitator and supported the group really nicely with good timing and allowed everyone to partake.

Good pace and good use of jam boards

Good facilitator Some good tips The associated documents were not so easy to download and use Too much time on spelling exercise

Too early to comment on the effectiveness of the program

This finance session was better as we got more stuck in to the detail. Some of it was still a bit slow for me

I missed the first finance workshop so I can't compare the two, but I felt the first half was a bit too granular (eg, the finance coding), but loved going through the balance sheets (financial reporting and management accounts). I know Amsel tried to avoid it, but I would have like him to talk through the financial accounts line by line and highlight the areas that we should focus on. Just a general comment, and I do understand that the bulk of people on the course, and indeed all Happy courses, come from the not-for-profit sector, but I feel there's a lack of focus on the commercial sector and the challenges that we have.

A challenging session today with lots of new information. As always though, thought provoking and informative and a great group of supportive peers

Henry's metrics section and the Beyond Budgeting exercise were good. The other bits were a bit slow. I felt they were explained in too much detail and the explanations were often repeated using different words.

It was good initiative to get everyone on same page and put our thoughts at same page as the CEO and interns too.
