A lot of the learning this week has revitalised my confidence in getting out there and asking my stakeholders what they need from me rather than assuming we’re on the same page. Good timing as we come up to planning. Also I think it’s a good opportunity to reset expectations with my core teams and them with me. I started this as part of this and the feedback task and just a simple questions made some much difference to a relationship. I can’t believe I didn’t do it before!

The Fast Track has been awesome – hugely insightful and fun and pretty amazing that such a worthwhile course is completely free.

Thank you Jen! I loved the interactive elements, the opportunity to hear the perspectives of different people working in such a wide range of organisations and the mix of science and personal experience in your videos – informative and interesting. I also loved the fact I could dip in and out – you’ve enabled me to spend a little bit of time reflecting in an otherwise manic week. Thank you!

I knew this would be helpful as I’ve worked with Jen before and I recognise that I enjoy this sort of thing and these conversations but I admit I was worried how I would fit it in this week. The structure of these 5 days have been perfect to dip in and out of without any pressure to be anywhere at a certain time. It has given me the space to show up when I’m ready, read over and learn from other people’s reflections and post my own when I am ready. The posting of comments made me be concise about what I was taking away and commit. My goal this week was to watch the videos and post something every day. Thank you Jen and to all the other leaders that have been so open about their experiences for us all to learn from.

I have found the daily tasks and reflections not only manageable to do around a full time job, but also extremely valuable. I have had the opportunity to reflect on what has been going well, which has been good for my own motivation, but also am coming away with some very practical tips to use with my team, which will hopefully strengthen our relationships in the team and increase our impact. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for an excellent course. I loved the bite-size format which was (just) squeezable into the normal hectic week, and the opportunities to catch-up when other things couldn’t be moved. Really good mix of content – and the input from other people was a lovely bonus. I’m so grateful for some fabulously actionable insights.

I was so overwhelmed with work and couldn’t find any firm ground to start to make things better for me and my team. My job changed during the programme, which has had a big impact, but I have found the sessions incredibly useful in reflecting on the challenges I faced, and also thinking about my future career. I now feel calmer, and I have had some really lovely feedback from team members as I left my old role. I wish I’d done the sessions 12 months earlier, as I think it would have helped enormously

Joining this course is one of the best things I have ever done. It has allowed me to explore leadership challenges in a safe space with like-minded managers and find ways to overcome these issues together and then take back to the ‘remote’ office a clear vision forward for both myself and my team. Having access to Jen and the wonderful resources and videos throughout the course enables you to have the best of both worlds in terms of theory and the ‘why’, along with the practical skills of ‘doing’ the coaching. For any manager that needs to hit the reset button and get back on track again this course is a must.

Jen’s programme was a great first entry into the world of coaching for me. It really taught me to ensure I carve time out for myself to ensure I can refill my tank and be there for my team. I didn’t think I would pick up as many useful tricks and tips as I did, and I look forward to putting many in action as the year progresses!

Committing to the course freed me to think about myself, my approach to work and how I can be a better leader. Working with leaders from across a range of sectors was also inspiring and affirming. Jen’s open questions, friendly face and structured programme resources have in turn challenged, encouraged and resourced me to be a calmer, more confident leader.
