“The training was excellent, in fact it’s possibly the best WCC training I’ve been on. The reason why it was so useful is that it really pushed you out of your comfort zone to look at assertively challenging and actively managing staff - however you were able to practice in a safe environment during the training.”
“We looked at getting the most out of staff through coaching, mentoring and managing staff through change. The quality of the training was excellent and they r really gave you confidence to build on your existing style of management. The trainers all really knew the theory but were able to assist you in putting this into practice.” “I feel that since attending this course I have really been able to manage more assertively and overcome some barriers to challenging people appropriately, This has become particularly evident through the appraisal process - which I feel staff really got the most out of this year “ “If there is a chance that this training happens again I would definitely support it 100%. I feel really privileged that I was given the opportunity to attend this training and have already recommended this training to colleagues in our Service. “ “As you can probably tell, I have become quite passionate about this training (it doesn’t happen very often). However the areas covered in the 8 days have and will continue to stay with me and I really feel that this opportunity has shaped and moulded my style of management.” “A lot of courses these days tell you things you already know, which isn’t a bad thing as it helps you consolidate your skills and increases your confidence. However, going on a course that challenges you is really something special. The managing people course really helped me to reflect on my role as a manager and enabled me to see how I could improve the way I do things for the better of my team. Since going on the course, I have set up regular one to ones which are more structured and I generally feel a lot more at ease about the way I do things within the team...it’s an excellent course which I whole heartedly recommend both managers and aspiring managers to go on” |
