- Previous delegate comments
- "The programme has been excellent in both a learning perspective and as a way of personal reflection. As someone who believes in the power of continuous learning, I'm extremely grateful for what this programme has provided me with; design theory, insights into leadership culture and a lot of food for thought."
- "I liked the informal presentation style and the contemporary methods being discussed, it didn't feel stuffy or outdated like some corporate training I've done in the past."
- "Fantastic facilitator in Maddie. Sessions were great and genuinely something to look forward to. Would highly recommend the programme to others."
