Wellbeing and working life
It is packed with lots of useful tips and information, the instructor is obviously very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator, and the overall quality of the course is suited to working professionals.
A very timely course which addresses the needs of people like myself, who have recently started working from home due to COVID-19, and are feeling a bit worn out and unsure of how I should be managing my time/workload.
I wanted initially to use the course to help me be more effective in managing my own team.... It certainly delivered everything I needed plus more!
He's inspiring. The anecdotes were applicable and the general course allowed a rethink of how we can choose to do life in a better way.
