Leadership development.

The most important awareness this programme has raised for me is the significance of active listening and empathy in leadership. I intend to incorporate these skills into my daily interactions to build stronger relationships and enhance team collaboration.

Attending the course with colleagues from across the business it has also given me an insight into other points of view and experiences which has been invaluable as it has opened my eyes. I will be a much much more considerate leader in future, keeping some of my good traits and enhancing them through alternative approaches, consideration and empathy.

I'm sad that the Leadership Programme is coming to an end, but excited to use my new learnings and skills. Been given the opportunity to reflect on my career, really consider my future career and learn skills that I can use for life has been invaluable. I have definitely improved as a manager but have plenty more to do and I will absolutely be referencing back to all that I have learned this past year. I've also gained a new role and new responsibilities this year which will really put my new leadership skills to the test! I have enjoyed every moment of the programme and cannot thank Bina and Caroline enough for their support and guidance.

The experience as a whole has been very valuable. The days in person with the others on the course have been excellent and we have made bonds with other team members we potentially wouldn't have. Everyone is determined and driven which makes for a very productive and motivated environment.

I believe I have become a much stronger team manager and leader within the business. I'm able to draw on my experience and learnings from the leadership programme to integrate into my day to day but also pass this onto my team - sharing more openly my past experiences to help them grow, learn or develop. Leading with a growth mindset, I now don't shy away from those more difficult conversations and situations but go in confident that I have the tools to navigate through to reach a conclusion. See my own development as a critical part of also doing my best in current roles. Being able to connect with so many different areas of the business has also been invaluable to bond us closer as a company. I believe we have strengthened working relationships which is having a positive impact on day to day business. Collaboration has never been as strong with this group of people - we know who to reach out to for support or answers, and that person in return is forth coming with help or solutions.

This was one of the best courses I've been on in terms of tools for my own personal development help others in my team.

I have been in sales for years now and have been leading teams for 23 years, I had never really thought about my career and my career anchors. The leadership programme has really helped me reflect on me and what motivates and inspires me.
