What others say
Exceptional course and presenter. I would readily recommend this course to anyone seeking skills and knowledge on team leadership. Thank you
- Kim Dyer
The presenter was great with the content being a good blend of theory and strategies with activities and self-reflection. Will be able to take some of it back to work to implement. Definitely a course I would suggest to others managing people in a team.
- Dorothy Tran
I really enjoyed this tutor's communication style. Very clear. Usually I hate any form of group work, but in this event the group activities provided were great opportunities to network and discuss workplace issues and scenarios with peers. Great course.
