If you get the opportunity to join their Remarkable Leadership Programme, do it! Fantastic program! You won’t regret it!
I really enjoyed this year’s Remarkable Leadership Programme. I thought it was so beneficial for myself, I took a lot away from it to help grow me as a leader.
Two years ago I was looking for leadership & management training provider and discovered Pro-Development. What a fantastic find! They are a passionate and relatable group of learning & development specialists who have helped us transform our company culture and become a genuine partner to our business. We have had 4 senior managers complete their long leadership development programmes, commissioned a bespoke supervisor essentials course (Team Leader Skills Bootcamp), and worked extensively with them on employee engagement, values, and our leadership behaviours framework. Their impact has been significant, both at an individual level and as a group
I was offered by my company to come on the course to better my leadership skills and knowledge.I joined the Skills Bootcamp.I have loved every session and gained a better understanding about leadership.The course has made me think differently and see things in a way I didn’t see/understand before. I now more open minded and asking open questions.My team can see a difference in me after each session, they also can’t wait for me to put a lot more into practice. Listening better to understand, learning more about myself and Meeting different people who are in a similar situation, knowing others go through tough challenges. Have a better understanding of how people ‘lead’ as I can see the difference in the people I work with and how they might think going back to DISC. I like that sometimes I was questioned about an answer I have given to make me think more to understand.
Enjoyed the experience, was very insightful and Joanne was lovely.
Enjoyed it and Joanne was very helpful and great at explaining. Joanne made the session very exciting.
Joanne Baker made the day, vibrant and fun.
Really strong session, which was thought provoking and gave the opportunity to put learnings into practice and a risk/stress free environment with no judgement.
I was a little apprehensive at the start with the 20 to 30 minute presentation, but from the start as a group we were put at ease. We were given all the tools to support us in the creation of the presentation. The feedback was constructive and I liked this, as I now have areas to learn from and improve upon to take to to the next level. Thank you Will you were amazing, I enjoyed your enthusiasm and made each day interesting, interactive and fun.
Great session I feel confident in my facilitation skills now and that some of what I was doing was good. I now have the tools to improve on that. Thanks.
Great training to help me prepare for the presentation as I felt more prepared than I thought which settled my nerves.
Will was really welcoming and helpful. She was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel at ease throughout
Very useful content and thought provoking.
Really enjoyed the variety of learning styles and the pace.
Abi and Sue were fantastic. Knowledgeable and supportive in their delivery. They get brought out the best from the team, allowed conversation to flow but also kept us moving at pace. Thank you for a great session 🙂
I found learning about the teams preferences really useful, particularly the section where each person described how others could interact with them better at work!
A really useful day for our team to connect and learn in a peer environment.
As someone who has engaged with Pro development previously, I am delighted to see my colleagues experience the level of higher quality training. The topic of the session was absolutely suited to the needs of our team and will no doubt be useful in our work going forward.
Really enjoyed the session, particularly sharing our profiles with one another and seeing the variety in the team.
It’s made me feel more confident in navigating conversations 🙂
I didn’t expect the profile to be so in-depth from the questions I had answered. It was very accurate, I thought.
I like that the workshop was tailored to different preferences for learning and and didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Great to be able to reflect on our own styles and how others communicate and how this can only make us stronger. Positive feedback and trust and foundations.
Great event, Joanne was fabulous
Such a great day. I have learnt so much. Joanne was fabulous
Joanne brought so much positive energy to the day. I felt I learnt so much about communicating effectively and brought away some useful tools!
I was sceptical but that’s my nature – was not what I expected at all (but in a positive way) – really enjoyed it & feel it was beneficial and eye opening. Thank you
Cracking Session, Catalyst will be a useful addition.
Really great morning, pulling the team even closer together.
As always it has been an invaluable session giving me further awareness and insight into my strength and challenges.
Well delivered by Lee, really great session.
Great morning workshop and good to see others profiles and hear their views
Fantastic.
Very much appreciated thank you. The day complemented other courses attended and current learning. It was nice to attend this course with colleagues as opposed to solo online learning. There were mechanisms and tools discussed that I will be able to take away and implement immediately.
Informative and interesting. Varied materials, group work, discussions, interactive. Much appreciated!Session was great and at a good pace. Thank you.
All attendees were able to have equal input and participation. Great content, which ensured participant kept focus throughout many interactive activities.
The day was great, very informative – I would have benefitted from deeper conversations around supporting staff with change but this would have likely taken more than a day along with the content of the programme. This helped me clarify my own areas for development / learning.
Really enjoyed the session. Have learnt a lot and will definitely be taking away a lot of the tools from the session. Sue was very engaging – thoroughly enjoyed the session. I often struggle to concentrate in full day training courses but this was very interesting.
The course was delivered in a brilliant way, involving participants and making you think about situations. I have really enjoyed the event / day and have learnt lots of useful skills to help me with my role and develop my skills more.
