Case studies

鈥淚 found the course eye opening and uplifting. To meet other people and managers having the same kind of problems made me feel more confident, and I feel I can use my new skills effectively in my organisation.鈥�
Kris Smyth, Production Team Leader, Ethos Energy Group

鈥淚t gives you a chance to take a step back, really look at yourself a little bit harder and the impact you have on other people in the workplace. Some of your frustrations, other delegates have experienced the same and they give you other ideas of how you might tackle them differently. It鈥檚 about thinking outside the box, thinking laterally and it sends you away with a real sense of purpose and motivation to implement it.鈥�
Ellen Thurman-Carvey, Sales Director, Barcham Trees Plc
