What others say.
- Fantastic course for those like me who want to step in the Leadership/Management space. Dynamic, to the point, great tools and models from a wise and fun lecturer. I'd definitely recommend it - great and refreshing experience.
- I enjoyed the tutor's teaching style and humor - very fast and well presented. Also enjoyed the group discussions and case study/simulations. Certainly learned a lot from this course.
- Possibly the best and most useful one day course I have ever attended. The subject of leadership and management is vast yet we covered so much and at easy pace. Course was brilliantly presented with humour and great real life examples. Knowledge and techniques learned will help me in my professional life and even beyond. Thank you!
