Leadership and Management Course Reviews

"The topics covered were really helpful. I now have a better understanding about the concepts of leadership and managements. We also covered a few topics not included and those were very helpful - performance management etc. The topics covered were so useful and very interesting. I can see myself definitely using these techniques and methods in the near future. Very easy to put into practice. Dave was fantastic. He was very enthusiastic and this definitely came across. He was willing to accommodate us in discussing additional topics which were invaluable (performance management) and I was fortunate enough to be coached by him (a real treat). In addition it was good to see him put what he preached into practice when having to deal with a particularly challenging individual in the group - most impressive. Wonderful course, has opened new interests for me (especially on the topic of emotional intelligence) and I look forward to that. Thank you"

"Well structured, informative handbook, good variety of teaching methods used to keep interest up. Excellent trainer, facilitated the session well and made many really interesting and thought provoking points. Really excellent course I would recommend to fellow peers."

"The course was interactive, the group of participants fully engaged, the learning objectives were accomplished, the training materials supported the training. Mark is a very good trainer, very knowledgeable and with high standard of teaching skills. He is enthusiastic, with professional demeanor, actively invited questions. The course fully met my expectations."

"I liked the fact that the course was very interactive. The contents covered were very relevant and directly applicable to my day to day work. I liked the fact that the course was not a repetition of the King's Fund Management for SpRs course. The content covered was highly relevant and immediately applicable to day to day work unlike any other management courses I have attended. I think Tom is an excellent teacher both in terms of his teaching delivery and modeling. He used the concepts he was explaining to us, with us throughout the course. I never once looked at my watch. The course was very enjoyable and monopolized my attention."
