I really enjoyed the courses and took a lot away from the training days.
The online training platform is great, being able to go into breakout rooms and chat with others. All the content of both days has been useful and enjoyable
The mix of visual presenting by David as well as activities and slides was excellent and meant at no time was there any lack of interest
The most useful part of the course for me was to highlight the difference between leadership and management, and to highlight what leaders do, and how to lead effectively.
This course has has given me serious insight into how I do actually communicate with my direct reports. Trying to think like them and actually getting to know them may be the way forward into breaking down barriers.
