What others say.
An excellent tutor who was really clear, a great listener and provided some really good advice, making everyone feel very at ease to share personal experiences with a group of strangers. I will take away a lot from this session and will apply it to my day-2-day role.
I found the course very interesting and helpful and plan to start putting the information I gained into practice straight away. The presenter clearly has a wealth of knowledge on the subject and a great presenting style – was very approachable.
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.
The course was a great learning experience for me. The tutor was a great lecturer and I would recommend this course to people who may need to up-skill.
A fantastic tutor with a friendly and warm manner. We learnt a huge amount and the information was conveyed in a sensible, accessible and interesting fashion. I would highly recommend this course!
A well paced course, which identified many important issues regarding management of a team in the workplace. Very inclusive atmosphere facilitated by a very experienced presenter.
This course was a fantastic reminder of the things we think we are doing, but how to do it more effectively.
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.
I was very impressed with the tutor. Made the day very enjoyable and I was able to take a lot out of the day.
