“Before I attended, I thought it would be like all the other leadership courses I have been on, but it is definitely not! What this program does is it takes away all the jargon and technical theory and I can translate the learning into real scenarios in my personal and work life. John and Steve make it so simple and I love that about it.”
“The programme is so thought provoking, it has me looking at leadership, coaching, mentoring in a completely different way. Also, I'm surprised at how much I have learnt about myself whilst being on this program and in particular the parts of me that hold me back as a leader and how to address my own bad habits.”
“It’s worth your time to take part in these sessions – you will learn much more about yourself as an individual, and how you are with others in and out of work. Each session has made me have a ‘lightbulb’ moment about myself and how I can apply different approaches personally and professionally.”
“I found it much more beneficial than expected. It made me think about areas of my work life that I hadn’t considered before. It's been really thought provoking. It challenges core skills that we often don’t give enough attention, benefiting us in the business world.”
“I have found out more about myself since starting the programme than I had in the 5 years previous. The sessions give you the tools to reflect on who you actually are, it makes you think about what you actually think and feel rather than what you ”should” think and feel. They give you the power to be yourself through everything you do and when you are true to your values in sharing ideas and decision making you are so much more likely to succeed and help other people come along with you.”
“What surprised me most, was the different backgrounds of all the other winners For anyone who wins in the future, you have to attend. The biggest impact the programme has had on me is how I now understand how my core values motivate me, it's been really inspiring attending.”
“Being in the TOP 30 alongside like minded people who have been, are in, or will be in the same position as you is an invaluable experience. The TOP 30 is not what you expect, or will have ever done before, this is different – good different.”
“It has opened my eyes to so much: the need to slow down, the need to listen more and the need to obliterate the word ‘err’ from my vocabulary are just a few of them. This has helped me substantially with clients and also presenting seminars and has taught me skills which I will use for the rest of my life!“
“That every single session is so relevant. I have learnt so much from all of the sessions. Pushing out of my comfort zone is something I’ve always been encouraged to do and the programme has shown me that there are many skills you can learn to help you along the way."
“You won’t regret it and you’ll learn a lot about yourself,you’ll be put out of your comfort zone sometimes but it’s really worth it once you come away and reflect on the experiences. It’s made me think a lot about someingrained habits I didn’t even realise I had and helped me to make improvementsthat I can keep building on in the future."
“My confidence has grown massively whilst been on the programme, I would advise to get stuck in and make the most of every session. I was very nervous about the programme, not only have I made friends but pushed myself out of my comfort zone and realised the can do attitude. "
“The LEAP programme allowed me to have a clearer idea of the direction of my career and the approaches to take to stand the best chance of achieving my goals. The programme has changed the way I communicate with people in a professional environment. I have noticed a massive change in the way I deliver a message in a variety of situations and it has helped a lot."
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, it may seem daunting walking into a room of people that you don’t know but as the programme goes on you get to know people, and you realise everyone is in the same boat. Having a network of people in Hull is really valuable."
