March 2024 reviews
"Mapping waste streams - will definitely be a very useful tool at identifying problems and areas of improvement, followed by actionable tasks. It was also very helpful to be taught how to gain buy in from stakeholders - i.e. empathy - so that we can create momentum and meaningful change in our business."
"Engaging with a very experienced and insightful leader and getting advice on difficult issues we were experiencing."
"The training was really engaging the entire time which is very impressive considering how long the event was. I learnt a lot and feel like I know what I need to do to start instigating meaningful change at work. This means a lot to me because before this course I had no idea how to get buy-in from everyone else, and so I felt that my efforts would not be effective – and I don’t feel that way anymore.My one critique would be that the course could be longer! Don’t get me wrong, the course was really effective and is fine as is, however, I know that I could have continued to get meaningful insight from you."
