"The development programme built a strong leadership group and provided an excellent opportunity for individual leaders to develop, build networks, and focus on a common goal. This has increased their understanding of each other and improved working relationships across the Trust. They were engaged, inspired, had fun and learned tools and techniques of real practical value that can be applied to their work. The work that they took forward in action learning sets was of real organisational value."

Director of Strategy, Doncaster & Bassetlaw Foundation Trust

"The programme has given me greater understanding and confidence in dealing with challenging situations in my new role, particularly with regard to appraisal of staff. My learning about how to deal with conflict more assertively has enabled me to deal with issues in a positive and constructive manner. The results have been an improvement in the working environment, improved staff performance and communication. I have also felt better able to deal with customers at a strategic, as well as operational level."

"On the programme I found that the feedback I sought from work colleagues extremely useful. It helped me gauge how I am seen at work and identify future development opportunities. I am better able to influence people and more assertive as a result of the practical sessions in small groups. Since the programme my role has significantly extended. I have had a substantial promotion and pay rise within the advice and guidance team and this means that I now interact with senior managers on HR issues."
