Impact Leadership Testimonials from staff who have completed the program   Very motivating. Enabled me to unravel my strengths and weaknesses and also helped me to realise that there are so many others facing the same challenges as myself. Given me a lot of direction and provided me with some tools to further develop in my role.   A hands-on, engaging and effective program that I really valued and gained a lot of knowledge from. I would recommend this program to other leaders at the University.    Very Motivating and inspirational. Given me some basic tools to get started with. Lovely to network with other leaders who have the same difficulties/pressures.   A chance to extract myself from day-to-day operations and think about the bigger picture whilst meeting other people across the University, has been refreshing and eye-opening.   A thought provoking program that offers workable solutions to common tricky situations.   Totally exceeded my expectations. Not just another management program, but one that helps with the practical application of techniques into the workplace   Large range of tools/models that can be translated into the work environment with little difficulty. The result of using such easy tools I can see could have a huge impact on my career   I feel this program has equipped me with the knowledge, skills and tools I need to feel confident in my career. I am taking a lot away from the last 6 days
