To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It's all about 'doing' rather than just reading about it. You have the theory at your disposal to support you throughout your journey but you develop skills and knowledge through formal and informal learning opportunities and direct experience. It's challenging but also very rewarding personally and professionally.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
My presentation skills and communication of value propositions are more effective since I started to apply the principles of ‘storytelling’.
My questioning and objection handling techniques have also improved thanks to a better understanding of how different psychological models and sales approaches can be applied to influence others and their decision-making.

My performance has improved from 'exceeding expectations' to 'exceptional' and I was recently promoted.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
