What our attendees say

  • “Excellent as ever! Goes far beyond leadership and development offered by other courses. In a department where “leadership” is judged by military models, this is a much needed reminder that there are other ways to lead and that’s okay!”

    Policy Desk Officer, MOD

  • "This event has been one of the best days of development time I have given myself in a very long time. A valuable experience"

    Deputy Director, Value Wales, Welsh Government
