About You
Very interesting, vibrant and challenging at times.
Strong effort by those in charge of the Academy program to make us feel very comfortable. Though very professional, the atmosphere was one of camaraderie.
Strong improvement of skills through provision of feedback, receiving advice from partners and much emphasis on personal branding and development.
Time management, precision and effective communication were the most important skills provided throughout the session.
