What attendees say
I thoroughly enjoyed it and came away feeling really inspired. Hosts, content, and location were all great.
Head of Economics
The session was delivered very well. It came from a shared understanding of the pressures of the job and was sequenced very well. There were a lot of approaches offered that I have now made a part of my daily routine.
Head of Economics
Clear, concise and communicated in an engaging way. Some fantastic practical strategies were gained to be implemented at our Sixth Form immediately!
