Momentum 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.   Excellent. 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.   Excellent all round program providing many useful tools to use in my workplace/organisation. Also, a great opportunity to meet, learn and engage with other staff around the University.   High energy and fast paced delivery. Comprehensive, relevant and divers content. Challenging and enjoyable.   Awesome, excellent teaching and interactive live sessions. Learning easy but challenging. I have moved from feeling just a manager to a competent manager and an asset to (my School).   Challenging and engaging. The course has excellent facilitators who involve the whole class in a learning experience designed for middle managers.   Probably the best program that I have attended, concepts were well thought through and presented very effectively. Key differentiator is the quality of the presenters.
