This has been one of the best I have ever attended over 20 years of working in financial services. This course is different - it's not only informative and practical, but leads to insights at a much more profound level, and gives participants the tools for change that will last long after the course is finished.”
“The course content was insightful, appropriate and effective in creating "light-bulb" moments and bringing about life altering realisations and changes - work related and also in my personal life.”
“As a senior executive in a corporate environment, what I have learned has enabled me to have more confidence in my skills and capabilities, as well as tackle my inner critic and the imposter syndrome that have been holding me back.”
“I’ve participated in other courses and read a few “life-changing” best-sellers and not one has had such a profound positive impact.”
”The course was excellent and offered me the opportunity to learn at my own pace, and gave me practical examples and actions I could implement. The facilitation and sharing was very well planned and expertly coordinated. Great balance of experiential and evidence backed learning opportunity - thank you”
"The course is an excellent investment. The perfect mix of theory, real life examples and support from a group of diversified thinkers. Excellent content, theory and helpful workbooks. What really sets this course apart is the fact that the coach had walked the corporate walk and she got it.. no HR fluff.. facts, figures and a genuine understanding of the challenges of succeeding at a high level in the corporate world based on real life experience. Highly recommend."
"It was such a wonderful experience that managed to finely balance a combination of self review, reflection, value identification and goal setting with neuroscience and the fascinating insights that come from understanding why we potentially think and feel the way we do."
I highly recommend this course. It combines behavioural research & science with real life examples, to deconstruct thought processes and learned habits which may be holding you back in your career”
