Real Stories, Real Impact
So many people in this industry share the same fears and concerns around not being good enough or lacking confidence in their role. This programme enables you in a safe space to be curious, ask those questions and stretch your own lens. I have discussed topics and areas I would never typically venture and its been invaluable
The programme will push you out of your comfort zone, challenge you with long days, and immerse you in more learning than you’ve likely experienced in four days. But you’ll come out standing taller and stronger than before! Highly recommended—I was initially hesitant about attending, but I ended up grateful to my employer for the investment.
Clear your mind and be open to anything. Be brave and push yourself to be involved and share your own experience. Enjoy everyday and do not be fearful of the project, it is a safe environment with a huge support network.
